In addition to the original categories of Product Design, Visual Design, and Digital Animation, two new categories--Architecture & Landscape Design and Fashion Design--were introduced to showcase the growing interdisciplinary nature of design and the expanding creativity of the next generation. This year's evaluation was conducted by an international panel of judges, with 50 professional jurors from 15 countries selecting 76 award-winning entries. With an overall winning rate of just 0.5%, the competition remains highly competitive, reflecting the excellence and rarity of the awarded works. A total of 76 prizes were presented, with a combined prize pool of nearly NTD 4 million. In addition to the Grand Prix, each of the five categories offered one Gold, Silver, and Bronze Prize, as well as six Honorable Mentions.
