First organized in 2019 and led by Faculty of Design, Kyushu University, the awards aim to demonstrate the power of design in solving social problems and to elevate society's expectations for design.
Now in its sixth year, this year’s theme is “Let’s Create Sustainable Design for FOOD." Food is indispensable for life, and it is essential for the survival of both humans and animals. How can our eating habits and food systems ensure the continuation of life? We are seeking innovative designs that address social issues related to food, including how to sustain it, preserve its culture, and make it accessible to everyone.
“Food is a theme familiar to everyone and food culture continues to evolve with the times. We would like young people to come up with innovative and bold design proposals for the nature of food. Anyone with an interest in food, including high school students, vocational school students, university students, and graduate students from Japan and abroad, is welcome to apply. We look forward to receiving ideas from a wide range of fields, regardless of genre,” says Zhang Yanfang, associate professor of Kyushu University’s Faculty of Design.
Details of this year’s awards are as follows.
