Organized by the Department of Higher Education under the Ministry of Education (Taiwan), executed by the Department of Visual Communication Design of Asia University, and sponsored by iSee Taiwan Foundation, Sayling Wen Cultural and Educational Foundation, and Industrial Technology Research Institute, 2019 Taiwan International Student Design Competition held the 3rd New Asia Design Workshop at Asia University on 18^th and 19^th May, 2019. Three prestigious international designers from New Southbound Policy area, including Mr. Nachiket Thakur from India, Mr. Junyao Lin from Singapore, and Ms. Agatha Maisie Tjandra from Indonesia, were invited to be the lecturers in the Workshop.

The New Asia Design Workshop targeted at the theme, “Empathy,” of 2019 Taiwan International Student Design Competition. The international lecturers led the students to think, observe and experience what empathy is in our daily life and taught them how to use different techniques to do their designs. To break the language barrier between lecturers and students, each lecturer was accompanied by an interpreter so that students could understand what the lecturers wanted to express immediately and correctly and thus get more involved in the Workshop. The Workshop not only boosted international exchange but also provided students who have interest in design with an opportunity to learn from international design experts face to face. Around 90 students from 30 high schools and universities in Taiwan attended the Workshop.

After the two-day Workshop, the students got inspired, came out with new thoughts, and generated new design energy from the design experiences that the lecturers shared with them. Some students also mentioned that it was such a pity that the Workshop only lasted for two days and hoped they could have more time to learn from the lecturers. At the same time, the lecturers were deeply touched by the students’ intense devotion to the Workshop and impressed by the works the students came out in such a short period of time. All the attendees looked forward to more opportunities to learn and to have exchanges in the future.

Established in 1981, the Young Designers’ Exhibition has become one of the most important joint exhibitions for design students in Taiwan to show their creativity. It is also a grand event that brings together the design students of Taiwan on an annual basis. Every year, over 4,000 entries and 9,000 young designers from 140 departments of over 60 schools participate in the exhibition. Each work shows the exuberant ideas and energy of the young designers to.

This year is the 38^th Young Designers’ Exhibition. Since both Young Designers’ Exhibition and Taiwan International Student Design Competition aim at exploring young designers’ talent and works and providing them with an international stage to show the world their designs, TISDC seized this precious opportunity to promote this year’s competition right at the exhibition on May 5th. TISDC also took the chance to visit the young designers from different schools and their works at the exhibition. Through this visit, TISDC hoped to attract more students to join the competition and see them on the stage of 2019 TISDC’s award ceremony.

On 24^th May 2019, the project manager of Taiwan International Student Design Competition (TISDC), Ms. Luby Chen, led a promotional campaign at Tainan University of Technology with the project manager of Sprout Project-International Design Competition (IDC). Around 55 teachers and students participated in the campaign. It’s TISDC’s great pleasure to have the opportunity to have exchange with students of College of Design and share the information of this year’s competition with them. We also gave our great appreciation to Dean Wei-Shao Hsu and Prof. Chiao-Fei Hsu of Department of Visual Communication Design for helping us arrange this promotional campaign and lending their support to TISDC.

Targeting on the theme of this year’s competition, “Empathy,” TISDC’s project manager, Ms. Chen, not only pointed out some detailed information about the competition but also shared some of the winning students’ experiences of participating in this competition with the attendees. Special emphasis was also put on this year’s ITRI Innovation Award of Brand Specified Category, sponsored by Industrial Technology Research Institute, which will provide winning students of this category with both the rewards and the opportunities to cooperate with the best research and development team of the industry. Thus, TISDC hoped students could seize this great opportunity to show the world their excellent works.

In 2015, XX Wu’s submission “Power” was selected by the visual design category of Taiwan International Student Design Competition. The work was reported in October, 2018 and found to be highly similar to the design entrusted to Taiwan’s Chulu Art x Design by 101 Tea in 2014. The executive team of TISDC reviewed the similarity of the two posters and the timing of both design, ruled to cancel the qualification of Wu’s submission as herein stated.

This year, TISDC still has two preliminary selections as it did last year. One is held in Singapore; the other, in Taiwan. Design Business Chamber Singapore (DBCS) again gave TISDC great support, co-organizing the Preliminary Selection in Singapore with TISDC. The Preliminary Selection in Singapore was rounded off on 24th August at PIXEL Labs. TISDC and DBCS co-collected the participating entries from Australia and New Zealand, and 11 countries/regions of Southeast Asia and South Asia and invited 15 professional designers from Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, and Thailand to form the panel of jurors for the Preliminary Selection in Singapore. After strict screening, 69 entries from The New Southbound Policy countries entered the final selection. These works will enter the final selection with the selected works from the Preliminary Selection in Taiwan, which is going to be held next week, to compete for 2019 TISDC’s awards in late October.

On the first day of the Preliminary Selection in Singapore, Mr. Steven Tai, Deputy Representative of The Taipei Representative Office in Singapore and Ms. Chi Yuan Tsai, Director of Information Division, Taipei Representative Office in Singapore gave a welcome remark to all the jurors, expressing their gratitude to all the professional designers for serving as jurors for TISDC. Mr. Tai and Ms Tsai also showed their recognition to TISDC for the achievements the Competition had made.

Following the Preliminary Selection in Singapore, 2019 TISDC will be holding the Preliminary Selection in Taiwan from August 31^st to September 2^nd at Taipei New Horizon. 24 jurors will form the panel of jurors, consisting of 14 design experts from abroad and 10 from Taiwan. 6 of the Taiwanese jurors will be the conveners. The jurors will demonstrate the credibility and diversity of 2019 TISDC.
