We have now opened submissions for the 60th Japan Sign Design Awards; however, as in previous years, we have observed instances where entries have been excluded from judging due to violations of the submission guidelines. In particular, we have noted violations such as failing to include the design intent (concept), listing the names of those involved in the submitted images or concept sheets, and using multiple photos in images other than the concept sheet.
We kindly ask that all applicants, including those who apply every year, carefully review the “Application Guidelines” and the application instructions (PDF) posted on this website before submitting their applications.
