The Kokuyo Design Award, organized by KOKUYO Group is an international product design competition that’s all about imagining and creating the future together. It gathers proposals from all around the world, and turns outstanding entries into commercial products.
This time, the organizers are calling for works based on the theme “Embrace.” This word carries meanings like “inclusion” and “hugging.” In that same vein, the organizers are looking for product design proposals that make people feel cheerful and positive by accepting and acknowledging the differences between people and the challenges society is facing.
Any stationery, furniture or tool used in working, learning and living scenes is eligible for entry. Submissions must be the original work of the entrant and must have not been made public (in Japan or overseas) before or concurrent to this contest. Multiple submissions are allowed.
Submissions will be evaluated based on these evaluation points:
➜ The design includes a proposed solution to some social issue
➜ The design has components that make people feel positive
➜ The idea’s uniqueness
➜ The product design’s feasibility
➜ The design’s potential to become a product
