Open Call: the 34th International Jewellery Competition EVERY BODY
The Gallery of Art in Legnica invites artists, designers, and goldsmiths from all over the world to take part in the 34th International Jewellery Competition EVERY BODY – the main event of the Legnica Jewellery Festival SILVER 2026.
Organised continuously since 1979, the competition is one of the oldest and most important initiatives promoting contemporary artistic jewellery in Europe. This year’s edition invites participants to reflect on the body – as a point of reference, a medium, a pretext for material or intellectual interpretation, and as a space of symbolic and social meanings.
The competition is artistic in nature – the choice of technique, materials, and form is entirely up to the artists. The use of silver remains a traditional suggestion, not a requirement. The main criterion for evaluation will be originality and artistic interpretation of the theme EVERY BODY.
Submission deadline: 18th of January, 2026
Jury of the 34th edition:
Paul Derrez (The Netherlands)
Sławomir Fijałkowski (Poland)
Sergiusz Kuchczyński (Poland)
Andreia Gabriela Popescu (Romania)
Helena Renner (Germany)
The works selected by the jury will be presented at the post-competition exhibition at the Gallery of Art in Legnica, Poland (April–July 2026). The announcement of winners and the exhibition opening will take place during the
Opening Weekend of the Legnica Jewellery Festival SILVER, 8–9 May 2026.

Cluster Contemporary Jewellery
A space where touch, memory, and material converge - where jewellery is not merely worn, but lived. The Living Trace invites you into a realm where the hand shapes more than form; it shapes time itself.
In a world unsettled by ecological and cultural shifts, these crafted objects pulse with quiet defiance. They are vessels of inheritance, but also seeds of what is yet to come. Each piece - a fragment of a larger story - carries the imprint of the maker and the weight of histories, whispered and worn.
Moving beyond adornment, jewellery becomes a talisman, a rebellion against the ephemeral, a map charting resilience and radical care. Between fragility and permanence, these works murmur of survival, of bodies remembered, of futures imagined
