2010 UK Jewellery Awards - Call for Entries

The 2010 UK Jewellery Awards have been revamped and are now open for entries with even more categories for you to enter.

This year the UK Jewellery Awards have had a facelift and promised to be more transparent  with a whole new judging process and brand new categories.

I hope that people who understand at least something about web will be employed, to avoid embracement of awarding horrific web sites like it happens in 2008 and 2007.


To find out more about entering and complete your submission online by the April 15 deadline, visit www.ukjewelleryawards.co.uk
