Second Screening
Wednesday, November 17th, 2021 at 2:00-6:00 pm
Main Auditorium, Daejeon Design Promotion Institute
Greeting by Chairperson
Albert Young Choi, Ph.D.
Chairman of the Design Competition Judging Committee
The second screening, the final screening of the 30th Daejeon Design Contest, was held on Wednesday, November 17th, 2021, at 2 pm in the bright autumn sunlight in the 1st-floor auditorium of the Daejeon Design Promotion Institute, with eight expert judges. After examining 80 designs that passed the first screening, the 2nd screening carefully selected one grand prize, two gold prizes, four silver prizes, ten bronze prizes, 40 special prizes, three teams of special awards, and two first design prizes, completing the examination.
Walter Gropius, who argued that design was “a new integration: art and technology,” founded the Bauhaus 100 years ago, which is widely considered the source of modern design education and philosophy. After that, he served as a professor at Harvard University in the USA. It has had a significant impact on American design education. His teachings have spread worldwide through American education and practice and have had numerous effects on humanity. As chair of the judging committee, I confirmed Walter Gropius’s teachings in many excellent works during the second screening, the final stage of the 30th Daejeon Design Contest. We have identified designs that will lead Korea’s industry and economy as it becomes an advanced country. In addition, we identified designs that addressed shortcomings and arrogance and expressed values for others.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to the winners of the 30th Daejeon Design Contest. I would also like to congratulate all participants for their excellent work. We would also like to thank the eight judges for their careful evaluation. We would also like to thank the people at the Daejeon Design Promotion Agency for organizing and running this event.
Lastly, I sincerely hope that this event will remain a positive memory for the participants as designers. Also, I look forward to your interest, support, and participation in the 31st Daejeon Design Contest next year.
Thank you.
