Some 240 entries were judged on creativity and innovation, aesthetics and craftsmanship, marketability, wearability and topic relevance. Both Open Group and Student Group categories competed under a "Glitter in Motion" theme.

Three entries in the Open Group were honoured with Best of Show awards, including Wong Suk Hing's "We will Dance," a luxurious and intricately designed glove. Ms Wong, who also won the competition's Craftsmanship & Technology Award, was sponsored by Chow Tai Fook Jewellery Co Ltd.
