Focused Issues are activities to consider and recommend new possibilities for design through the Good Design Award screening process.

Every year, several Focused Issues Directors are selected from About 100 Judges. We set the themes that each of us should explore through the screening process of the Good Design Award as “Focused Issues.”

Focused Issues Directors look across their domain (screening units) to see subject entries. Through the screening process, we will explore and summarize our thinking and ultimately present our ideas in the form of recommendations.
