DTC's diamond jewellery design competition for Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries is now open for entries, according to reports.

The deadline for entries to the competition, which is aimed at promoting creativity in design in the Arab world, closes on April 15th.

Participants are required to send in a design, inspired by Arab culture, based on any one of five categories.

The final 12 designs will be displayed at a gala event in June in Dubai, where the five winners in each category will then be selected.
