A "mere" pencil took home the Grand Prix title while a tape cutter that also plays music grabbed the attention of judges in an international design competition recently.

The annual Kokuyo Design Award invites participants, with or without a design background, to submit user-centric product designs with mass appeal. Top creations are then commercialised and made available in the market.
