2018 JURY

The choices and decisions made by judges of different backgrounds will undergo a phase of persuasion about the nominees and order of ranks will be marked through a fair way for the awarded works. This order of judgment requires a distinct judging device that is used exclusively in K-Design Award so it may be a rather difficult and effort taking judging procedure. However it needs to be endured to provide reliability and satisfaction during the submission and awarding procedures. Only 1% amongst the submitted works will be crowned with the honor of receiving a grand prize. We have to clarify thatit is not a contest exhibition which only strives for awards. Extensive award domain has not been applied in order to strive for the most authoritative and fair design contest exhibition.

 The most significant value of K-Design Award is to provide the most convenient, accurate, and valuable design screening in the world based on judging system not on personal competences of evaluators. We think fairness is most important. For it, In the screening, we do not reveal personal information such as nationality, organization, and name. Interviewers in the first screening are excluded from the second screening. The final screening is conducted as the same way in the first screening. Around 9% of entries are selected as final winners. The percentage of result matching with other evaluators is automatically calculated and information is conveyed to all the evaluators. It makes it more focused on judging.
