/ ABOUT TISDC

The Taiwan International Student Design Competition (TISDC) has become a benchmark platform for global student design awards, gathering emerging designers from around the world. Through the competition, it stimulates creative exchange, allowing the power and infinite possibilities of design to be recognized worldwide. TISDC not only evaluates outstanding works but also continues to focus on being a “design-for-good platform,” paying attention to how design can respond to contemporary issues and promote social value.

In cross-cultural dialogue and international collaboration, TISDC is committed to cultivating design talents with a global perspective, helping the younger generation apply design to social care and sustainable practices. Partnering with numerous internationally renowned design organizations, TISDC not only showcases Taiwan’s design capabilities but also embraces education and public welfare as its mission, becoming a nurturing ground for the future of global design, and allowing the world to see Taiwan through design.
