Individuals and groups, regardless of age, nationality, or occupation, and regardless of whether someone is a student, are invited to enter a rather complicated yet challenging design competition that is sponsored by SANYO Electric Co., Ltd. and supported by DESIGNTOPE, Inc.

The focus is on the “everyday-life product ideas and the freshness of the image designs,” the Grand Prix and the Awards for Excellence will be decided in final judging using the mockups and panel displays of the submitted data. Awards are substantial.

Everyday-life product = “A product that people come into contact with on an everyday basis and that is part of an everyday living environment such as that of homes, offices, commercial facilities, etc. There are no particular limitations on the actual size or economical efficiency of the product, but SANYO will verify the technical aspects.”
