Selection Process of JAGDA Award
The “JAGDA Awards” (initially known as the “JAGDA Category Awards”) were inaugurated in 2008 in line with JAGDA’s conviction that selecting and recording the outstanding graphic design works of the year is one of its most important activities. This year, a JAGDA Award was bestowed on one particularly outstanding work in each category from among the entries featured in this yearbook.

In most categories, in principle the 10 works garnering the highest number of votes in the initial round were nominated for a JAGDA Award. The following categories were exceptions: Posters, 20 nominations (owing to the large number of entries); Interactive Design and Videos, 5 nominations each (due to the small number of entries).
Each of the 27 members of the Selection Committee was allowed to cast up to 3 votes (with no obligation to use all votes allowed). Voting was carried out separately for each category, anonymously. In each category, the work garnering the largest number of votes received the JAGDA Award.
