Here are 15 favorites of mine from 750+ winning projects of the period 13-14. My selection is based on the functionalism and the novelty factors. They're not in a particular order - I couldn't put them into any, such different and amazing each of them are.

Conspiracy-Sandal Shaped Jewels by Gianluca Tamburini - fantastic styles, details
and craftmanship combined with modern technology.

again is proved the fact that something greatly functional can be beautiful too.
