THE GRAND PRIZE sponsored by Mr Paweł Adamowicz, the Mayor of the City of Gdańsk, PLN 10,000
Sara Gackowska – Międzychód, Poland; Entry No. 218603
FLUO ring
A minimalistic combination of two very different materials. Their collision creates an unequivocal ring both timeless and contemporary. The colour yellow and the non-preciousness speak of an obvious joy in a way extended by the dynamic shape of the amber.

The Amber Prize - sponsored by the International Amber Association
2 kg of amber
Emilia Kohut – Gdynia, Poland; Entry No. 140287
An interesting development of the concept of the ring. The Jury appreciated the use of amber as a specific tactile agent. Therefore, it reflects the pleasure aspect of enjoyment.

The Silver Prize - 1 kg of silver
Piotr Tołkin – Gdynia, Poland; Entry No. 581321
Yet another shift of perspective. The entry’s playfulness brings back the innocent child in each of us.
