The Centre, located in the historic Dunedin Railway Station, is a stunning location to house the awards; with its celebrated detailing and high, pressed metal ceilings; the large historic rooms will add to the elegant and stylish face of contemporary jewellery in New Zealand.
There will be 5 awards totalling $5,500
Premier Award - $3,000
Distinction Award - $1,000
Merit Award - $500
Student Award - $500
People’s Choice Award - $500

The Trust is delighted to announce that the Judge for the awards is Philip Clark, director of Objectspace a new and award winning Auckland based centre for craft and design administered by the Objectspace charitable trust that opened in 2004. Philip has worked in the arts and cultural sector for 25 years for a range of local, regional and national organisations including the Crafts Council of New Zealand and Creative New Zealand. Philip has a strong and long term interest in many types of objects, old and new, including small collections of ceramics and contemporary jewellery.

The award exhibition will be open to the public from Friday 10 March – Tuesday 4 April 2006 coinciding with the Vodafone ID Dunedin Fashion Week. “It makes perfect sense for National Jewellery awards to be held at the same time of year as the ID Dunedin Fashion week” commented Kari Morseth, the Centre director, “fashion and adornment go hand in hand.” Dunedin has positioned itself as having some of the most highly regarded contemporary jewellers working in the City with studio workshops representing the finest in the country, making it an ideal home to these National Awards.

All work will be for sale.
