A total of 3,004 entries (2,002 from Japan and 1,002 from overseas) were submitted to the “Tokyo TDC Annual Awards 2015.”
Winners were selected through a strict judging process, and the following prizes were awarded: 1 Grand Prix, 1 Type Design Prize, 1 RGB Prize, 1 Book Design Prize, 1 Special Prize, and 5 TDC Prizes. This year is notable for the positive evaluations given to highly experimental works, including the Grand Prix for 2 series of posters by a Yale University graduate student, and a TDC Prize for a film by a German university student. Also among the winners are three type design entries, including two works of typeface for newspapers requiring delicate and sophisticated skills.
