Jewelry That Makes You Think.
WHO WILL WIN AJF'S $7,500 AWARD???
Wednesday, March 2, 12 p.m. EST

Since we can't be on the Internationale Handwerksmesse Main Stage to reveal the winner and finalists of the Young Artist Award (YAA), the next best thing is to make the announcement on AJF Live. The jurors—collector and gallerist Karen Rotenberg, curator Chequita Nahar, and 2020 YAA winner MJ Tyson—will announce their names. The four finalists and the winner will then present their work. Please join us in celebrating their achievements—let's raise our glasses to them!

The biennial YAA competition offers a prize of US$7,500 for the winner and US$1,000 for each of the four finalists, as well as an exhibition at Schmuck—art jewelry's biggest and most prestigious annual event—in July 2022.

This event is free, and open to members and non-members alike. For more information and to register, follow this link.
