To enhance the energy of Taiwan’s cultural and creative industry, honor outstanding creative talents, and encourage enterprises to value the importance of R&D in innovation, the Ministry of Culture has organized the “Cultural and Creative Award” since 2010. The award encourages innovation among Taiwanese industries through the competition in order to build a foundation for quality life in Taiwan, and strives to become the highest honor in Taiwan’s cultural and creative industry.

This year marks the 10th Cultural and Creative Award, and the evaluation will target products (works) by exhibitors of the “2020 Creative Expo Taiwan.” An international jury will review all exhibits onsite at the exhibition, so that the Cultural and Creative Award can differentiate itself from other prestigious design awards in Taiwan that have longer histories, and serve as an annual index for domestic and foreign expert buyers and participating citizens when purchasing cultural and creative products. Through the organization and recognition of the award, the Ministry aims to continue encouraging cultural and creative enterprises that focus on innovations and the building of business models, and propel the development of the cultural and creative industry in Taiwan.
