"JAGDA New Designer Awards"
Of members who submit their work to "Graphic Design in Japan," "JAGDA New Designer Awards" are given to designers under age 39, who have produced the most outstanding work. The awards aim to spotlight newcomers to the design world and stimulate activities of both JAGDA and the realm of design. Since 1983, when introduced, the awards have gone to more than fifty members and become a prime motivating factor for young designers to join JAGDA. Exhibitions of the work of winners have been held since 1985.
