Y.S. Award


The 19th Y.S. Award was themed “Sustainable Practice+” in response to the UN's sustainable development goals (SDGs). It serves as the best platform for universities in the country to express their opinions on Environmental protection, social justice and global economic development in the hope of drawing everyone's attention to sustainability. Sustainability cannot be achieved single-handedly and requires the collaboration of more people.

The COVID-19 pandemic has spread widely over the last two years. We human beings must learn how to live with the virus. Smart technology, thus, plays a key role in pandemic prevention. This year's competition theme covered sustainability and smart technology applications. There were mainly three types of creations in the software application and industrial design category: 1. advanced technology applications used for sustainable and environmental issues; 2. detection and assistance technologies for future traffic safety; 3. remote contactless medical and healthcare services. The creations of the golden prize winners of all categories were not only creative and impressive, but also realistic. The film “Let's do the planting together” of the golden prize winner in the Microfilm category won favor with all the judges. It aimed at calling on more people to save energy, reduce carbon emissions and care for the earth.
