This year’s Taiwan International Student Design Competition (TISDC), themed “Diversity,” brought together over 16,000 student entries from 64 countries across 5 continents — a true celebration of creativity and cultural expression.

For the past five years, the Pan Afrikan Design Institute (PADI) has proudly partnered with TISDC, representing the voice and vision of Afrika’s emerging design talent on the global stage. Once again, this year offered an incredible platform for our young designers — students up to 30 years old (and 35 for women) — to represent their nations and showcase the creative spirit of Afrika to the world.

David Appiah represented PADI during the final selection, continuing our mission to amplify Afrikan design excellence worldwide.
