“As we enter the Awards’ fifth year, we have reviewed the judging criteria and revised the entry format to make it easier for entrants to share their achievements and highlight their success stories. We have also consolidated some categories that are judged against a similar set of criteria to create a more dynamic environment and a new level of competition. Moreover, some of the categories have been expanded to invite more entrants from regions that are key to the jewellery and gemstone industry,” founder of JNA and UBM Asia’s business development director Letitia Chow said at the awards media breakfast held during the on-going jewellery show in town.
The annual awards aims to recognise innovators and leaders who have made significant contributions to the advancement of the trade in Asia, and have demonstrated excellence and outstanding entrepreneurial achievements.
The judging process will be undertaken from May to mid-June. The honourees or shortlisted entrants will be announced on 23 June at the Hong Kong jewellery show in June. The awards ceremony and gala dinner will be held on 14 September during the September Hong Kong fair.
