This year, TISDC still has two preliminary selections as it did last year. One is held in Singapore; the other, in Taiwan. Design Business Chamber Singapore (DBCS) again gave TISDC great support, co-organizing the Preliminary Selection in Singapore with TISDC. The Preliminary Selection in Singapore was rounded off on 24th August at PIXEL Labs. TISDC and DBCS co-collected the participating entries from Australia and New Zealand, and 11 countries/regions of Southeast Asia and South Asia and invited 15 professional designers from Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, and Thailand to form the panel of jurors for the Preliminary Selection in Singapore. After strict screening, 69 entries from The New Southbound Policy countries entered the final selection. These works will enter the final selection with the selected works from the Preliminary Selection in Taiwan, which is going to be held next week, to compete for 2019 TISDC’s awards in late October.
On the first day of the Preliminary Selection in Singapore, Mr. Steven Tai, Deputy Representative of The Taipei Representative Office in Singapore and Ms. Chi Yuan Tsai, Director of Information Division, Taipei Representative Office in Singapore gave a welcome remark to all the jurors, expressing their gratitude to all the professional designers for serving as jurors for TISDC.
