Os designers brasileiros têm se destacado em poucos concursos internacionais, contudo, notamos que existem muitos concursos que os designers poderiam participar, se houvesse maior divulgação em muitos outros.
Para corrigir essa lacuna, o CREBi.com está apresentando a relação da maioria dos concursos existentes no setor.
No mundo inteiro, são realizados anualmente mais de 50 concursos de desenho de jóias. Atualmente, existem aproximadamente 22 em aberto que poderiam ser de interesse dos profissionais do Brasil.
