2025 World Children and Youth Design Competition

​

The 2025 World Children and Youth Design Competition drew to a successful close on [2025.12.26], evolving into a globally recognized stage where young design talents can showcase their brilliance. This distinguished event brought together passionate young designers from across the globe, challenging them to demonstrate their design skills, innovative thinking, and cross-cultural expression charm in a high-stakes design contest.

Jury Conducts Rigorous and Transparent Evaluation

The professional jury, consisting of renowned designers, design professors, and industry experts, adhered to the principles of rigor, fairness, and transparency throughout multiple evaluation rounds. Judges assessed the entries based on two core dimensions: design skills (including design logic, aesthetic coordination, functional practicability, and emotional delivery) and creative presentation (such as thematic depth, stylistic innovation, and cross-cultural relevance).

 

• Design Skills: Evaluations focused on the contestants' command of complex design techniques, such as stable application of human-centered design principles in product planning, precise control of visual and functional balance in design drafts, and the ability to enhance design appeal through the integration of aesthetic form and practical value.

• Creative Presentation: Standout entries included reinterpreting classic daily necessities with modern design concepts (e.g., adapting traditional desk lamps with smart energy-saving design elements) or original design works (e.g., designs exploring eco-friendly living, smart campus life, or inclusive products for disadvantaged groups).

• Cross-Cultural Relevance: Works that combined African traditional pattern aesthetics with modern industrial design, or integrated Asian minimalist design concepts into European-style furniture creation, showcased exceptional cross-cultural design integration vision.
