WHAT:
The Taiwan International Design Competition (TIDC) is entering its twelfth consecutive year. In the 11 years of its existence it has already cultivated an extensive international reputation.
In addition to encouraging more imaginative and innovative creations, it also hopes to use current trends to inspire designers to engage in more profound philosophical and humanistic reflection. This will allow designers to not just be confined to an ‘object’ itself, but to incorporate a return to life’s subtleties of life in design concepts.
Categories:Product Design, Packaging Design, Visual Communication Design, Digital Multimedia Design etc.
Theme: Togetherness
Thinking back to an age when technology wasn’t quite so prevalent, we remember a time when people were able to build relationships with nothing more than sharing a pot of tea and trading kind words. Now, the tangible distances have become smaller, but the intangible gap between individuals has grown larger.
“Togetherness” is a modern necessity that people always ignore, as the more feeling of closeness can make a warmer and happier world. Let us use the power of design to raise the temperatures of our life, and gives us the strength to discover the surprises and creations of life.

The Audience Engagement Grant supports photographers to take an existing body of work on a social justice or human rights issue and devise an innovative and effective way of using that work as a tool for social change. We are looking for projects that serve as interventions on pressing problems and provide concrete ways for photographers, organizations, and their target audiences to create a positive impact.
WHAT:
We will provide between five to eight grants ranging from $10,000-$30,000. Grant funds cannot be used to shoot new imagery. When selected projects closely align with the work of the Open Society Foundations, we will facilitate contact with relevant foundation staff and grantees.

- Photographer or Curator/Project Organizer, whose expertise is in the production or presentation of documentary photography
- Audience Engagement Partner(s), with expertise in a specific issue and already connected to the target audience
- OPTIONAL: Distribution Partner with expertise in the dissemination or presentation method
Projects: We are seeking projects that include the following:
- An existing body of compelling photographs that documents a human rights or social justice issue. Preference will be given to projects that address issues and geographical areas of concern to the Open Society Foundations.
- Effective and innovative ideas for using photography to spark deeper engagement with a particular community on a social justice or human rights issue
