One of the great things about this campaign is that all Taiwan-based brands are eligible to be part of the campaign. Product categories includes consumer and business IT, fashion, arts and culture, sports, education, transportation, and others.
Among the selected products, the judges choose those who deserve the Silver and Gold Award recognition. They will select thirty from the original winners, with only ten to be given the Gold Award, the highest recognition under the campaign, while the remaining finalists will be given the Silver Award.
And for this year, the campaign was introduced to the country for the first time. It will benefit Filipino consumers who purchase products from Taiwan.
