jewelry competitions

I'm considering entering this jewelry competition. It's due on March 1st, I would probably enter the black necklace, but I would have to come up with a better clasping system by then. Or I could enter the black bracelet, but same issue.

Here's the link

WAY easier than entering an architectural competition.

Hmm.. here is another very interesting competition, based in Russia.

Conflict and constraint of the modern world during the last few years formed a new direction in jewelry design – search for more emotional and sensual shapes…
New conception evoked interest in natural organic forms and bionics…
History gives us numerous examples of their transformations in jewelry art: from thrilling Egyptian scarabs, butterflies and dragonflies of modernism to bio-engineer constructions of Anton Zepka…
Hybrid of organic and inorganic…
Every jeweler could give peculiar response to this task…
Above all there should be sincerity, freedom and opened mind of the new century designer…

appears to be due in April
