Described as a game changer,<\/em> the Future of Design Business competition seeks to discover, promote and catapult the next great jewelry designer into the market.<\/span><\/div>\n

 <\/div>\n
Applications begin NOW and the winner will be selected during a \u201cShark Tank\u201d-like live presentation at MJSA Expo New York in NYC on March 12, 2013. <\/span><\/p>\n

Submissions include our business plan-like application, marketing materials and visuals of your jewelry line. The application includes an in-depth questionnaire that teaches you about strategy and marketing planning along the way — and gives you plenty of time to compose your answers.<\/span><\/div>\n

The deadline is January 21st — and you will need several days to complete your application, say last year’s finalists.<\/span><\/div>\n
