The JAGDA New Designer Award was established in 1983 to highlight outstanding young designers and to inspire the graphic design industry. Several designers (aged 39 or younger) who have created designs with particular novelty and a high level of quality are selected every year from designers whose works are included in the Graphic Design in Japan annual. The award, which highlights the many talents who will lead the design industry, receives considerable attention from the design and advertising industries. JAGDA organizes exhibitions in Tokyo and other areas in Japan to display the awardees’ works.
