 For
the applicants from overseas: |
The theme of the competition this
year is: Jewellery. We have taken up ﾒJewelleryﾓ as the theme
six times since the competition started. With every competition
held, the number of the applicants and their works of art has
steadily increased and there has been a wider variety of the
nationalities of the applicants, which has made us feel appreciative
and proud; it seems that this tendency indicates our exhibition
has been becoming known.
Jewellery must focus on its wearer. Indeed jewellery design changes
explicitly and implicitly with the times, but people love jewellery
in any time and at any place and jewellery makes its wearers
feel happy. In other words, the choice of jewellery is affected
by the situation in which the wearers find themselves - even
by the cultural backgrounds or by their physical and emotional
conditions.
We hope all the applicants will turn kind and friendly eyes on
people who wear the works. |

| Tips
for Submission |
Pack your works
carefully; otherwise your works would
suffer damage during the shipment. We don't indemnify you for
that kind of damage. If the delivered work is so severely damaged
that we can't judge it, the work will go out of selection.
Application Form A -
Are the blanks all filled in? The information
of the price is necessary when we get insurance for your work
if it is on display for the period of exhibition.
Don't use FedEx(TM) etc. If you should use private
import agents such as FedExｪ, they are likely to pay the import
duty without any notice in advance and charge the duty to us.
We don't pay such duties and it sometimes follows that we can't
receive your works. We follow the proper legal procedure at custom
offices, which is necessary for exempting your works from duty.
Send each piece of your
works with the label. See the example
below: |
| Storage
Policy |
| Basically, once we receive your
works of art, we will keep and handle them with the greatest
possible care. If your works unfortunately suffer some damage
due to some kind of accident beyond our control, we don't indemnify
you for the damage. If damage is due to our negligence, 30% of
the price will be paid as compensation for works. |
| Notification
of Results |
| We will promptly notify the competition
results to the applicants by e-mail. You are not allowed to inquire
by phone. We will not be prepared to answer complaints about
the results or to accommodate your requests for explanation about
the results. |
