The Kunpeng Global Design Award (KPA) aims to discover designers with creativity, vision, foresight, and influence. It also aims to enhance the exchanges and cooperation among all designers from different countries and inspire the industrialization of creative designs as well as the promotion of creative design concepts.

(I) Each category has its Jury consisting of five jury members, and each Jury is responsible for selecting the Gold, Silver, Bronze, Merit Award winners. Each Jury consists of world-leading designers, managers of design organizations, editors of design magazines or digital media, or professors of leading design institutes from different countries and regions. Members of the Jury possess recognized authority and outstanding professional achievements worldwide. Biographies of Jury members will be announced on the official website before the judging dates. The Chair of each Jury is elected by the members of the Jury of each category and is responsible for convening the meetings, monitoring the assessment procedure and delivering the final results. The chairmen and vice-chairmen of each Jury will form the special final Jury and select the winner of the "Special Award for Sustainable Development”.

(II) Led by the organizing committee, a comprehensive, authoritative, and representative pool of expert reviewers will be established through recommendations from supporting organizations, industry associations, design institutions, and design organizations. The Academic Committee of KPA will nominate 35 experts from this pool (7 per category, including 5 primary experts and 2 alternate experts per category; with alternate experts replacing primary members if the latter are unable to participate). This panel will form the KPA Judging Committee, with formal invitations issued after confirmation by the organizing committee. Members of the Academic Committee are generally ineligible to serve as award juries.

(III) Members of the Juries should not enter the competition. If an entry is a project designed by a juror, or involving a juror, or a project by an entrant who has previously cooperated with a juror or is currently cooperating with a juror, the involved juror should NOT participate in the review of this entry.

(IV) The organizer will invite world-leading architects, designers, professional magazines or publication editors, and professional organizations to nominate projects. The list of nominators (individuals and institutions) will be posted on the official website in due course.
