The "2013 New Taipei City National Metal Craft Competition," organized by the New Taipei City Gold Museum, began accepting preliminary submissions from March 15 to March 31, 2013. The competition is divided into two categories: jewelry and objects. Entries are eligible as long as their primary material is metal, supplemented by other media, and are original works that have not previously won awards in publicly solicited exhibitions or competitions. The winning works of the gold, silver, and bronze awards in each category will be collected by the Gold Museum, providing greater display and exposure opportunities for outstanding works. The prize money for this competition is the highest in its history, with a total of NT$740,000.

The 2013 New Taipei City National Metal Craft Competition has no restrictions on the theme of creation. Each participant may submit up to two works per category. The gold award winner in each category will receive a certificate and a prize of NT$180,000; the silver award winner will receive a certificate and NT$100,000; the bronze award winner will receive a certificate and NT$60,000; and six honorable mention winners will be selected in each category, receiving a certificate and NT$5,000. The gold, silver, and bronze award-winning works will be collected by the Gold Museum, and the prize money includes the cost of collection.

 

The judging panel for this competition consists of multiple domestic and international professionals in metalwork and related fields, invited by the organizers. The final selected creators and works will be announced on the Gold Museum’s website in late June 2013. The gold, silver, bronze, and honorable mention award-winning works will be exhibited at the Gold Museum from June 28 to September 8, 2013. For more details, please visit: www.gep.ntpc.gov.tw.
