2022 TOKYO TDC ANNUAL AWARDS

東京字體指導俱樂部（日文：東京タイプディレクターズクラブ，英文：Tokyo Type Directors Club，簡稱：Tokyo TDC）成立於1987年，是日本字體研究和圖形設計領域具有代表性的非營利組織之一，著名設計師、字體研究專家淺葉克己先生自創建以來一直擔任理事長至今。

東京字體指導俱樂部對入會會員要求甚嚴，迄今為止僅有不到150名會員（包括日本本土和日本海外會員），會員均為在某領域取得傑出成就的專業人士，如著名設計師仲條正義、葛西薫、佐藤可士和、中島英樹、服部一成、Alexander Gelman（美國）、王序（中國）、John Warwicker（英國）等。

東京字體指導俱樂部於1990年設立東京TDC獎（TDC Annual Awards／東京字體指導俱樂部獎）已經成為亞太地區字體研究和圖形設計領域最出色的比賽之一，東京字體指導俱樂部獎旨在關注與推崇表現文字和語言之間具有深刻關聯的字體設計，同時也十分關注藝術指導者在企業品牌訴求時的品味和視覺溝通藝術及設計的主張。

Tokyo TDC 每年從世界各地募集數千件優異的參賽作品，從中選拔出頂尖之作授予 Tokyo TDC 大獎。今年也選擇將在線方式申請參賽和評審，評審將分這兩個階段進行：首先，將在參賽作品中評選出大約 450-500 件作品納入年鑑，然後，在這其中評選出入圍作品、獲獎作品。

Notes

1）The entrant name must be the name of the work’s type director. This will also be the name used when awarding prizes. Names cannot be changed after the submitting process, so please ensure the correct name is used when submitting works.

2) The Annual Book will be prepared using submitted digital data. Due to technical and organizational constraints, TDC reserves the right to determine the trimming and cutout of the images requested by the annual book’ s designer without permission from the applicants. TDC will photograph the entry works if need be.

3) The layout of the annual book and Exhibition is done in accordance with the editing format and policy of the TDC annual book and Exhibition. We will not accommodate special requests from entrants.

4) Entrants grant TDC the right to reproduce the images of entries for promotional purposes.

5) Prize winning, prize nominee and excellent works will appear in the Tokyo TDC annual book, the digital archive and presumably in other various media including website. Taking this into consideration, applicants must be responsible for all the conceivable issues of copyright. TDC takes no responsibility for copyright issues.

6）Entrants consent in advance to having their works exhibited at other exhibitions besides those mentioned in the submission requirements.

7）Entrants also consent in advance to having their works published in the TDC Annual Book digital archives.

8) Entries which do not follow the entry guidelines, or which the jury consider inappropriate, or which contravene the rights of others will be disqualified from the competition. TDC reserves the right to disqualify entries based on these conditions even after notification has been made that they are prize winning, prize nominee or excellent works. When doubts about whether a work conflicts with the copyrights of others arise after the annual book is issued, the producer of the controversial work and the corresponding third person are responsible for solving the problem. Tokyo TDC takes no responsibility in such matters.

Q & A

Q. Supposedly my work was selected as an Excellent Work, but what if I am unable to send the actual work to Tokyo for any reasons. What will happen then?

A. We will not withdraw your work. If the actual work cannot be ready for the December’s final judgement, we will display the printed data from your application as an alternative.

Q. Regarding JPEG files, are there any limitations on content amount?

A. We do not set any limitations on content amount for JPEG files (such as only one poster or only one package per JPEG file), but it would be hard to appreciate the work if a JPEG file was excessive in content. Although we do not limit these aspects, please see the example image as mentioned above as a guideline for reference.

Q. What is the difference between a single work and a series of works?

A. For categories 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, it would be a single work if only one image is submitted for one work, while it would be a series of works if two or more images are submitted. For category 3 (Type Design), we accept only a series of works (two to 10 images) because only one PDF file is insufficient for entry.

Q. Can one work be submitted by multiple persons?

A. Yes, it can. Please enter the entrant names as the entrant name (Type Director). However, enter a group name, etc., if four or more persons jointly submit one work.

Q. What should I do if I want to submit 10 or more JPEG images for one entry?

A. If you submit more than 10 images, please add USD 50 to your entry fee for each block of one to five images over 10 images. (For example, if you submit 14 images [i.e., in the block from 11 images to 15], the entry fee would be USD 150; while, therefore, for 21 images the fee would be USD 250, and so forth.)

Q. It’s not possible to limit my explanatory material (for videos) to within 30 seconds. What should I do?

A. If you cannot limit your explanatory material (for video) to within 30 seconds, we will see the explanatory material as part of the work itself. Please add a video entry fee (within three minutes: USD 50; longer than three minutes: USD 100) to your main entry fee.

Q. I want to make more than 10 entries, but the number of columns in the entry registration format (in Google Forms) is insufficient.

A. If the total number of entries is more than 10, please make multiple entry registrations and indicate “2nd registration” or “3rd registration” in the remarks space.

Q. Can I submit a work that I have submitted to another competition?

A. Yes, you can.
