A wide range of works is eligible for the Good Design Award, including both tangible and intangible designs. Today, we are presenting the Good Design Award to design entries that play important roles all around us, including industrial products such as daily necessities, home electronics, and motor vehicles as well as homes, facilities, and other construction projects; various services and software applications; communication activities including public relations and community-building; and business models and research and development initiatives. In the screening process for the Good Design Award, we judge entries comprehensively taking into consideration a wide range of aspects, including not just visual design components such as color and shape but also more fundamental factors that are not easily apparent, such as the processes of achieving goals, ideas, and meanings. In recent years, a tendency has been firmly taking root to consider as elements of design the processes planned and implemented toward achieving a goal themselves, and close analysis of such implications is growing more and more important in the screening process.
