Professional designers, studios, and collectives are invited to participate in the Design Values Award. Innovations that blend Chinese cultural heritage with global design trends are celebrated across four categories: Architecture and Environmental Design; Fashion and Textile Design; Product Design; and Visual, Communication, and Interactive Design. This award serves as a platform for showcasing contributions to the global design landscape.

Each category is intentionally open-ended to encourage diverse, imaginative interpretations of the design in China, providing a space for creativity that resonates with a modern audience while staying rooted in cultural significance.
