20th annual National Jewellery Student Competition Exhibition | Summer 2023

Call for Submission 2023:  The 20th annual National Jewellery Student Competition

Selection for this exhibition is based on technical excellence, ingenuity, and strength of creative vision. One-of-a-kind, production prototypes, jewellery and objects are considered equally. Students of any year from a Canadian diploma-granting educational institution are invited to apply. A maximum of five students will win placement in the exhibition.

The finalists will have the opportunity to have their work reviewed by a jury and will be presented to an international audience at the gallery and through online promotion. Previous international jurors have included curators of the MAD Museum and the Architecture and Design Department of MOMA in New York; and the founders of the international Art Jewelry Forum and Klimt02. National jurors have included the former Directors of the National Gallery of Canada, the Canada Council Art Bank, and Harbourfront Centre Visual Arts, Toronto. 

The primary exhibition award is a solo exhibition at the L. A. Pai Gallery.  From 2020 to 2022 collector donors offered a cash prize of $1000. The gallery currently represents a select group of former finalists.
