2021 Edition of Preziosa Young

International contest/exhibition for young jewellery makers

Preziosa Young” is a biennial competition launched in 2008, dedicated to worldwide emerging artists, goldsmiths and designers. The aim is to contribute to the circulation of what is new in research jewellery, as well as showcase what the new generations of goldsmiths/designers/artists are “brewing”. Worldwide artists, goldsmiths, silversmiths, designers and young professionals are invited to present projects that illustrate the work in which they are currently involved.

Preziosa Young is an excellent opportunity for young designers/artists/goldsmiths to present their research, and have the possibility to stay in Florence for three months as artists in residence. The contest provides a high level of quality, both conceptual and technical. The participants are young professionals, who already have their own activity and a demonstrable curriculum. Read the call for application for more information.

The winners' exhibition will first be presented in Florence on the occasion of Florence Jewellery Week 2022 (program under development), and then in other countries and galleries, during the following months.

In accordance with Preziosa Young policy of supporting the new generations, candidates to the contest do not have to pay any registration or participation fees.  

Deadline: 15 November 2021
