39 judges from 15 countries

The judging committee consists of competent and experienced teaching staffs and active designers, who were recruited fairly through an open recruitment for judges held by the K-Design Award. This was intended to secure fairness under the dimensions of K-Design Award in addition to provide highly reliable selective standard through experts of various fields, in terms of theories and practical experiences. The order of screening will go by the judges selecting the nominees and placing works in rank based on their order of preference.

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. This is intended to break away from meaningless awards and certify works that are acknowledged by everyone. For fair judgment, the judges of 'K-Design Award' abide the principle of not choosing submitted works from the same affiliation as the judging committee. This is the only limitation enforced to prevent unfair screening. 

Additionally, verification procedures will be executed by the jury, who is granted tacit rights of inspection by means of authority. 'Fairness' is the core value K-Design Award considers as the most important. It is true that unfair judging is common in the field of design contest exhibitions in the world. Then, how can we create clean and fair contest exhibitions? Accordingly, we thought of the ranking system with a foreman of the jury and a jury system. We are planning to do our best to prevent irregularities and designate 8 judges and have the foreman of the jury indicate the ranking on the judges. In a case where a professor is amongst the judges, they cannot select the works of their students.

"Through this, fair judging process can be optimized."

About

K-Design Award breaks away from formative simplicity and complexity and grants true value on the potentials of creation into products as well as outstanding ideas which are specified with great design. With this aim in mind, we are anticipating different works, which consist of the best ideasandare created by designers, companies, design organizations, and design studios, that are constructed into exceptional forms of design.
