Judging Committee and Screening Policy

Judging Committee

judgesJIDPO establishes the Good Design Awards Judging Committee, organized by approximately 70 designers, architects, editors, and other specialists working in the forefront of design.
Under the supervision of the Chair and the Vice Chairs, the Judging Committee shall conduct screening and render final awarding decisions while respecting the guiding philosophy of the Good Design Awards and the screening policies.
 

Screening Policy

The screening policy of the Good Design Awards is succinctly expressed in five important words summarizing the basic concept behind the screening process for the Good Design Awards and all other awards.
HUMANITY: Inspiration for products and conceptual embodiments
HONESTY: Perceptiveness toward contemporary society
INNOVATION: Concepts to pioneer the future
ETHICS: Imagination for prosperous lifestyle culture
ETHICS: Reflecting on society and environment

These five words used in our principle can be expressed in a single phrase as "giving people the central role and taking a high ethical standard in identifying the essence of our lives and engaging in appealing creative endeavors". This illustrates our basic philosophy that design is a humanitarian act put in the service of the human community. This is also the message of the Judging Committee, which seeks to reward design meeting these standards.
In addition, creativity, insight, conceptual abilities, imagination and intellect are the skills that are so essential when putting good design into practice.
The entries are screened based on this philosophy and the characteristics of their respective domains.
