Ebda’a Award

Do you have the talent to change the jewellery world?

Are you an aspiring jewellery designer? Do you have incredible designs ready to showcase to the world for others to appreciate? If so, the EBDA’A Award could be your path towards making your dream come true. 

A life-changing competition – held online in 2020

The UAE’s leading jewellery artist, Azza Al Qubaisi will be running the EBDA’A Award this year to discover the latest talent that may set the industry alight. 

Jewellery artists are encouraged to showcase their designs through social media where they will then be evaluated by a committee of leaders in the jewellery market and given the opportunity to be mentored to give them the confidence to develop a successful career in jewellery design. The EBDA’A Award is a great way to further promote the talent of Emirati jewellery designers in the region.
