They don't have the deadlines listed yet on the American Gem Trade Association's Spectrum Awards site. In fact, it says it just says it is "coming soon!" So, any talented jewelry designers out there probably should just hurry up and get busy creating something fabulous if you want a chance to win this prestigious award:

Entries in the AGTA Spectrum Awards™ will be evaluated by a panel of distinguished industry judges on the basis of overall beauty and wearability, innovative design, effective use of materials, quality of gemstones, quality of workmanship, broad-base consumer appeal and potential to generate positive publicity for natural colored gemstones. Spectrum Award categories include Classical, Bridal, Day, Men's and Evening Wear.

You can find out more details, and I hope very soon the deadline for this competition, along with a downloadable application and images of the jewelry that won in the past at the AGTA site.
