At the opening ceremony, Director General Lu Kun-Ho remarked, “It is a great honor to invite esteemed international design masters, whose invaluable insights help broaden designers’ horizons and enrich the diversity of their creations. Design is not merely an aesthetic expression but also a powerful catalyst for cultural transmission and innovation. Through the Kinmen Target Design Award, which serves as a vital platform for showcasing Kinmen’s cultural vitality, designers have the opportunity to engage with global design leaders. This exchange fosters creativity and opens doors to more international collaborations, further enhancing Kinmen’s presence on the world stage.”
The Kinmen Target Design Award encourages students to draw inspiration from the unique people, culture, history, geography, and industries of the Kinmen islands. By integrating these elements with design thinking and strategic planning, participants reinterpret the essence of Kinmen’s cultural heritage through hands-on design practice. This year, the competition attracted enthusiastic participation from 28 universities across Taiwan, receiving a record-breaking 208 submissions during the proposal stage. After rigorous evaluation by the jury, 32 outstanding proposals were selected in the first stage, the “Planning Proposal.” In the second stage, the “Design Competition,” 16 exceptional works were chosen to represent the Cultural Affairs Bureau. These designs will compete in 85 design contests both domestically and internationally, striving for the highest honors in the global design arena.
The success of the opening ceremony not only highlights the creative potential of the new generation of designers but also underscores the profound cultural heritage of Kinmen. Looking ahead, the Cultural Affairs Bureau of Kinmen County is committed to deepening the development of the cultural and creative industries while fostering international connections for local design talents. Through continued global exchanges and collaborations, Kinmen is poised to become a vibrant creative hub that garners attention from the international design community, pushing its cultural and design industries to new heights.
