The second edition of China Good Design is now calling for entries. The international competition is open to companies worldwide looking to strengthen their position in the huge China market.
June 9th, 2016
Following the success of the inaugural China Good Design award last year, the second edition is now open for submissions. The competition is organised by Red Dot, which is well known the world over for its string of illustrious and highly prized Red Dot design awards.
China Good Design is the first independent international design competition in China; the award recognises the outstanding works by companies both locally and abroad, and brings them to the attention of the huge – and increasingly sophisticated – China market.

Just like the Red Dot awards, China Good Design sets the bar for its stringent rules and high judging standards. Submissions to this year’s competition will be assessed by an international jury made up of independent industry experts, such as Gordon Bruce (USA), Martin Darbyshire (UK), Aleksandar Tatic (Germany/Italy), and Prof. Cheng Neng Kua (Taiwan). The panel is also represented by Prof. Renke He, an outstanding personality of the Chinese design scene. As part of the China Good Design programme, participants will also have the unique opportunity to exchange ideas with the jurors in a “Meet the Jury” session, and be part of the grand award ceremony and “Designers’ Night” on 30 October.
