The 5th International Poster Competition has received an overwhelming response from countries like Pakistan, Finland, Ecuador and Turkey, explaining the growth of this platform and the broad spectrum of interpreting creativity in gemstones, jewellery and diamonds. The 106 posters received this year from 20 countries have interpreted the beauty of gemstones with subjects like food, landscapes, flowers, clothing, wild animals, famous drawings and political issues. %% The International Colored Gemstone Association (ICA) will display the poster entries during the ICA Congress slated for May 5-10, 2009, in Panyu, China. The Congress delegates will vote for the most preferred posters during the event, from which, the winners will be announced and honoured with cash prizes during the closing gala dinner.
