★Students from teams that have passed the first screening will be given the right to participate inWorkshop I which is held on Tuesday, August 9, and will work hard to brush up their works for thesecond screening.
The theme of this year's contest is "Social Design and EVs: Proposals for 2040," and we have set a specificyear in the theme. We have concluded that the contest should be about the role of EVs not only from theviewpoint of transportation but also as a form of mobility that is indispensable to people's lives and whatmakes people's lives more affluent.
Therefore, we have changed the evaluation criteria of the contest as follows:[Old] "Styling (priority is on the completeness of design) + Concept (explanation of design: story)"[New] "Social Design in 2040 (priority is on the Identification of issues) + Concept (solutions) + Design(visual images as explanation)"
We selected "Social design" related to urgent issues such as environmental problems, natural disasters,
transportation safety, and energy, as well as the construction of a new social system centered on services.
