The institute will announce the 30 selected submissions that have utilitarian functions, such as an ornament that can measure humidity, and geometrically shaped jewelries that can be used in several modern applications.
The final four finalists will then be announced, with a 4,000 USD cash prize and a royally bestowed trophy from HRH Princess Chulabhorn, the Princess Srisavangavadhana given to the winner.
