Focusing 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.
*The mockups will, to the greatest degree possible, adhere strictly to the intentions of the candidates, but in cases where mockup production is extremely difficult, SANYO will provide follow-up guidance. There may be cases where the candidates themselves are asked to provide such guidance and confirmation.
Prizes
As a result of the final judging, the winners of the following prizes will be selected from among the five candidates.
■One Grand Prix winner Prize of ＼2,000,000
■Four Awards for Excellence Prizes of ＼50,000 each
*The designs of the five prize winners above will have mockups prepared by SANYO. In addition, the prize-winning designs will be used in SANYO advertising and public relations in a variety of media (design magazines, etc.). Please keep in mind that the mockups themselves will not be sent or returned to the prize winners. For details and information on the rights involved, please see “09 Competition Entry Rules” below.
Announcement
Announcements of the selection of the Grand Prix and other awards will be sent directly to the winners. An announcement will also be made on the competition site. However, please note that in cases where product development is being considered, some of the content of the submitted design may not be made public due to rights-protection considerations.
