This is a club run competition (Level 1) just among members, but judged by the Australian Federation of Lapidary and Allied Crafts Associations (apart from the Most Appealing Gemstone).

This year we will be adding some extra categories to hopefully give an opportunity to all members from beginner to experienced a chance to enter.

Criteria for 2023

Deadline for entries is 31st January 2023.

The theme for this year is Topaz and the Faceting competition will be using Topaz as its stone. Cabochons will be using Jasper and both materials will be available for purchase at the club.
