The global registration of 2023 Taipei Design Awards starts today, with a total prize money of more than NT$ 4.2 million, including the Taipei City Mayor Award, which represents the highest honor with a prize money of NT$ 600,000. Designers from all over the world are welcome to show their unlimited design and creativity strength through the Taipei Design Awards.
In addition to the three categories of "Industrial Design", "Visual Communication Design" and "Public Space Design", this year's awards also set up special cross-category awards, such as the "Social Innovation Award" and "Circular Design Award" to encourage epigram works of creative design, reflecting the role and responsibility of designers in urban development, and solving the urban problems facing society and its people, thus creating a sustainable cycle and innovative humanistic thinking. This year, the Taipei City Government will continue to invite a panel of professional judges from home and abroad to select outstanding design works through a rigorous evaluation system, and further explore the business potential of new design forces.
The Industry Bureau first organized the Taipei Industrial Design Awards in 2008, which was renamed Taipei Design Awards in 2012, to shape Taipei into a platform for creative design and communication. The Bureau is committed to making Taipei an aesthetic city with a design vision to explore creative design with business potential. Since the start of the competition, a total of 128 countries and regions, as many as 53,508 works have been registered for the Taipei Design Awards, regarding it as a collection of design ideas and exchanging platform. This year, it has been recognized and certified by the World Design Organization (WDO), the International Council of Design (ICoD) and the International Federation of Interior Architects / Designers (IFI). Moreover, it has cooperated with the German iF Design Award to promote and recognize excellent design on the international stage.
This year, in order to strengthen the link between the brand of Taipei Design Awards and the city of Taipei, a new "Taipei Urban Design Selection" is specially added. "Design" starts from the city of Taipei, and further demonstrates the original intention and spirit of "Design for Adaptive City" of Taipei Design Awards. Related activities will be announced later. Please stay tuned.
