Art Competition : The 11th Silver Accessories Contest 2010

Deadline : February 1, 2010

OBJECTIVE
It has been 5000 years since “SILVER” appeared in human history. A great number of people within that time have placed their value and happiness in the special attributes of Silver. This competition has been held since 2000 for Art Clay instructors, and was opened to general artists in 2002 so that contestants could present to the world their limitless ideas regarding the “Joy of Creativity” when working and creating with Art Clay Silver. In 2010, we celebrate the 11th contest, and have counted a total of 5,119 submissions in the past 10 years of the contest. These contest entries represent a bridge of creativity linking artists and visitors as one. Your entries will make all people understand that Art Clay Silver can be used by everyone.

We are expecting that this year’s entries will once again capture the unique expressions of contestants around the world.
