It is also a grand event that brings together the design energy of Taiwan on an annual basis. There are around 4000 works from 65 design schools and colleges being presented in the event every year on average. Each work shows the exuberant creative energy and concept of the new designer to be. Taiwan International Student Design Competition has a similar mission to the Young Designers’ Exhibition. The two both aim to scout for design talents and exceptional designs, and provide an international platform for emerging designers to rise and shine. TISDC is honoured to have this rare opportunity to promote the competition right at the exhibition site on May 25th.
