The 2013 New Taipei City National Metal Crafts Competition organized by the Gold Museum is an important metal crafts biennale. The Gold Museum began accepting applications for the competition in March, 2013. In two categories (Jewelry and Objects), a total of 281 entries were submitted. After two rounds of evaluation and heated debates among the judges, 18winning entries (2 Gold Award, 2 Silver Award, 2 Bronze Award, and 12 Merit Award) are selected and exhibited to demonstrate the strength of Taiwan metal craft art.
