The “2013 New Taipei City National Metal Craft Competition,” organized by the New Taipei City Gold Museum, started accepting preliminary entries from March 15 to March 31, 2013. The competition is divided into two categories: jewelry and artifacts. Any original work primarily made of metal with other materials as supplements, and which has not won awards in any publicly solicited exhibitions or competitions, is eligible to participate. The gold, silver, and bronze award-winning works from each category will be collected by the Gold Museum, providing greater exposure and display opportunities for outstanding pieces. The prize money for this competition is the highest in its history, with a total of NT$740,000.
