2015 Taiwan International Student Design Competition is Globally Seeking Emerging Designers

One of the world’s largest student design competitions: The 2015 Taiwan International Student Design Competition will be open for online registration on May, 25!

The 2015 competition is sponsored and promoted by the Youth Development Administration, Ministry of Education. The competition has entered its 8^th year. Each year, the administration invites famous scholars and designers to act as judges so the competition is highly recognized as fair and iconic. As of last year, the competition has attracted the participation of more than 50 nations and received 21,000 pieces of artwork. In addition to maintaining the annual award of 400,000 NTD, the total prize of 3,000,000 NTD, and free registration. The main organizer of this year has increased the number of awards in response to the yearly increase in the number of participating artwork and to encourage a greater number of emerging designers. Furthermore, the main organizer has continued to cooperate with well-known international design organizations to establish special awards and provide a total of more than 50 awards. Domestic and foreign students attending high schools or higher education level are welcome to participate in the competition.

The four competition categories include product design, visual design, digital animation, and vendor-specific category. To stimulate students’ creative energy, the product design category of this year has continued to accept conceptual pieces; no artwork model is required. The vendor-specific category of this year is sponsored by iSee Taiwan Foundation. The foundation is to establish the design requirement and seeks artwork with production potential, with the anticipation that this requirement can guide the students to focus on the implementation of their creativity. As a result, the academic fields can closely connect with the design industry.

The theme of this year’s competition is Embrace. The contestants can think from diverse perspectives such as embracing nature, enriching lives, and experiencing various cultures. The artwork is to convey the concept of embracing, which includes finding the essence of love and the passion for experiencing life in each moment.
