3D Print Miicraft+ Jewelry Challenge
There were times when independent designers were really just tiny specks of creativity compared to the well-established design studios. The big guys ran the show and there was not much jewelry designers without serious financial backing could do to jump over that barrier. Well, let's call those times the pre-3D-printing Era. It's a bit like talking about the lives of those who survived the pre-Google Era. Tough times, serious struggle, happy to never know what that really means.
Consider yourself born under a lucky star if you have an unwavering passion for jewelry design and would like to give it a try. It's your time, and it's absolutely possible for you to earn money from such talent. Stop making excuses and start bending the software to produce the best pieces you can.
We have teamed up with MiiCraft+ to bring you an exciting 3D printing models challenge. These guys specialize in printers almost entirely dedicated to printing 3D jewelry and accessories. They were so generous to offer the Miicraft+ printer for the winner of the best 3D printable design category. So give it your best shot, because the game is on!

Frequently Asked Questions
Please go through these questions before contacting us
Do I need to upload files or only images of my 3D design?
You need to upload files and images of your 3D design in order to participate in the challenge.
I don't want to put my entry model for sale. Do you have any suggestions?
Does earning money from your digital files sounds like a bad idea? Just try to put higher price on it, let's say 300 USD.
I don't want to loose copyrights on my model after it is sold.
There are General, Editorial and Custom licenses for you to choose under which you want to operate. Individuals or companies which bought your model can't use it for commercial purposes if it hasn't been changed. So no worries - you won't loose the copyright.
How can I participate in the challenge?
Design awesome 3D model for Apple Watch Accessories 3D Printing Challenge and upload it to CGTrader.
What if I put the required tag on my already published 3D model on CGTrader - do you treat it as a valid entry?
No. Only 3D models uploaded in the period from the 9th of March to the 1st of April 2015 will be treated as valid entries.
Do free 3D models participate in the challenge?
Yes, absolutely. Sharing artwork is always appreciated in the community.
Can I enter with 3D models which participated in other challenges elsewhere?
Yes. There are no restrictions on publishing and selling your models elsewhere.
Do price tags play any importance when entries are being judged?
No. But do not forget that the prices are always judged by the customers.
I want to participate in the challenge so I am going to delete my already uploaded models and upload them again to meet the "publishing period" requirement. Can I do that?
No. We are tracking every deleted and uploaded model, so it is useless to drive-through our requirements of the challenge.
