International Bicycle Design Competition, IBDC
IBDC is one of the world's leading professional design competitions, dedicated to leading the charge in innovative bicycle design. It also serves as an excellent platform for industrial design departments at Taiwanese universities to showcase student creativity, gain international competition experience, and enhance their employability. A special online publication of winning entries is available.
In addition to encouraging students to boldly explore solutions for future transportation and cycling sports, IBDC also maintains close ties with industry. Winning entries have consistently garnered significant attention and become the starting point for production or project collaborations. Through participation, students will be able to practice the design principles of "people-centeredness" and "sustainable innovation," enhance their comprehensive skills, and have the opportunity to interact with outstanding designers from around the world.
The 26th IBDC is now accepting submissions (July 1st to October 15th). The theme is "Smart, Sustainable, Joyful Living." Participants will receive a Gold Medal prize of NT$200,000, opportunities to collaborate with bicycle manufacturers, and partnerships with the Golden Pin Design Award.
