APIO promotes the 14th Goldsmith’s Contest

With the “International Year of Glass” as its motto, the Portuguese Association for the Goldsmith Industry (APIO) calls all interested parties to participate until September 15.

“Glass has accompanied humanity for centuries, enriching the quality of life of millions of people and becoming one of the most important, versatile and transformative materials in history. For this reason, the United Nations (UN) approved the commemoration of the International Year of Glass in 2022, precisely the year that will celebrate the centenary of the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb in 1922, with his Egyptian glass collection or the bicentenary of the invention of the Freshel lens, used in marine lighthouses,” states APIO on its website.

The Goldsmith’ Contest, promoted by APIO, is open to all members and professionals of the industry, students and trainees of goldsmithing courses and a maximum of three pieces per participant can be accepted, each piece counting as one application.

The pieces submitted may include all types of raw material, with the requirement to have a component of a precious metal.

“We invite all associates and interested parties to participate in this edition, which will take place in the same manner as the previous competition, and to be inspired by the proposed theme”.
