Osmium Visionary Contest

Welcome to the Osmium Visionary Contest!

The Osmium Visionary Contest is an exciting global competition aimed at showcasing the most creative and innovative jewelry designs using Osmium as a key material. The contest is brought to you by Osmium-Institute Germany and renowned jewelry influencer Katerina Perez, and it seeks to join the most visionary and forward-thinking jewelry designers from around the world.

UPDATE:

The winners of the Osmium Visionary Contest have been selected! It was a tough decision – so many brilliant ideas were submitted. Our heartfelt congratulations go out to the three winners!

SURPRISE: But there was still one more chance to win: The fourth prize was awarded by public vote. Voting was open until May 14th and took place on Instagram. Nearly 2000 accounts helped decide who of the Top 20 would receive the Audience Award and 5.000€ worth of crystalline osmium to bring their design to life.

Even if your design didn’t win or make it into the Top 20 — know this: it was seen, admired, and appreciated. The creativity and passion you poured into your vision truly impressed us. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be reaching out to as many of you as possible to explore if there’s still potential to bring your ideas to life.

And yes, we’re already gearing up for 2026 as we’ve got confirmation: Osmium-Institute and Katerina Perez are both planning for Osmium Visionary Contest 2.0 in 2026—demand and interest have been off the charts! We’re truly honored and can’t wait to share all the details with you. Follow both channels (@osmium_institute and @katerina_perez) to stay up to date and be the first to know when the new contest kicks off!

Participants of the Osmium Visionary Contest had a unique opportunity to contribute to the evolution of Osmium in the jewelry industry, a material known for its rarity, density, and remarkable sparkle.

Participating in the contest offered much more than the chance to win incredible prizes. Designers received the opportunity to showcase their jewelry on a global stage, with their creations traveling to prestigious exhibitions across South and North America, Europe, the UAE and Middle East, and Asia. These exhibitions provide invaluable exposure, as each piece might be prominently advertised and displayed to international audiences.

Additionally, some participants and all winners are receiving extensive social media coverage from both the Osmium Institute and Katerina Perez, further amplifying their visibility.
