The Taiwan International Design Competition Forging Plans with Top 4 Poster Awards
The Taiwan International Design Competition (TISDC) participated a series of activities in the International Poster Biennial in Mexico (BICM) from October 26th to November 3rd. The BICM invited four world renowned poster competitions and representatives including Lech Majewski, Chairman of the International Poster Biennale in Warsaw, Jean-Michel Géridan, Chairman of the All to Chaumont’ Poster Competition / Managing Director of the Général chez le Signe, centre national du graphisme, John Gravdahal, Chairman of the Colorado International Invitational Poster Exhibition, and Xavier Bermudez, Director of the International Poster Biennial in Mexico. Each organizer from each design competition as well as poster award shared core values and experiences of their competition through exhibition, workshop, and seminar. Apex Lin, project director of the TISDC, also shared cooperation plan with them through this platform.
Since 2015, the TISDC has been sponsored by the iSee Taiwan Foundation and the Sayling Wen Cultural & Educational Foundation and has been working with more than 22 international design association. It is hoped that a platform made for design communication can be established through this kind of cooperation so that Taiwan can gradually gain influence in the design community. More importantly, the TISDC is hoping to boost design visibility of Taiwan and to provide an international platform where young designers can show their capabilities to the whole world.
