Record Number of Awards Won at Red Dot Design Awards Competition
Dongseo University students have achieved an unprecedented record, receiving a total of 11 awards at the 2022 Red Dot Design Award competition in New York. In particular, “Touchable Hair” was also selected as the ‘Best of the Best,’ which is awarded only to the top 0.1 percent of award-winning works.
Dongseo University students won the Best of the Best for “Goodnight Mommy” at the Singapore Red Dot Award this year, and at the Berlin Competition in Germany. The Red Dot Design Award competition was started in Berlin, Germany in 1955, and is now known as the most prestigious, longest-running, and largest-scale design competition in the world.
For anyone majoring in advertising and design, being selected for an award in it is a highly coveted achievement. This year, about 8,000 works from 50 countries around the world were submitted, with 24 of the world’s best creators and design experts doing the judging. It was here that DSU students competed with creators from around the world, and were selected for a record number of 11 awards including Best of the Best. The award-winning works were the result of DSU’s Idea Convergence Practice class, developed by Professor Ryu Do-sang (Department of Advertising and Public Relations) and Professor Moon Mi-kyung (Department of Software). This new record for DSU is a unique achievement not only among universities in Korea, but also among universities around the world.
The winning works will be listed in the Red Dot Brand & Communications Yearbook for 2022/2023, and will be introduced to the world through both online and permanent exhibitions. Each winner is registered as a Red Dot International Member and receives various benefits, while Best of the Best works are also permanently displayed at the Red Dot Exhibition Hall in Berlin, Germany. The Red Dot Design Award ceremony, gala show, and exhibition of winning works will be held in Berlin on October 28, where the winners will participate.
