I recently had the privelage of receiving a bronze medal at the Japanese Design Foundation's annual competition. It is probably the most professionally run competition I have ever been a part of and all of the board members and jury were impressively coordinated. Unfortunately, being one of three westerners at a conference where the theme is "The power of Asian design" was a bit uncomfortable. Although I know it was not the intention. There is much I could say about the conference, the award process and my experience of Osaka but I think that it is probably not appropriate for the blog. Of course, I might feel differently if I had won, as Michal did in 2007.
