This Year's Theme is "Brave Attitude, Organic Design". Entry Deadline is May 23

Japan Institute of Design Promotion (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo) has announced its call for entries
to GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2024, starting April 1 (Monday).

GOOD DESIGN AWARD has been Japan's leading global design award since 1957, and is widely
known through its G Mark logo. The designs that receive the GOOD DESIGN AWARD are ones thatare depended on by many users and professionals as being good designs, and also contribute toexpanding the business opportunities for the recipients and improving their image and brand power.
For 2024, with "Brave Attitude, Organic Design" as our theme, we are searching all the more forpeople involved with design who are brave and stepping forward and can bring their ideas into
society through organic ideas and systems that are flexibly beautiful and suited to settings andlocations.
The jury members for this year's award include chairperson Seiichi Saito (creative director), vicechairpersons Jin Kuramoto (product designer), and Yuko Nagayama (architect), who all continue
from last year. They are joined by some 100 other jury members with varied backgrounds and arefrom both Japan and abroad.
