The theme of this year's contest is "Social Design and EVs: Proposals 
for 2040," and we have set a specific year in the theme. We have 
concluded that the contest should be about the role of EVs not only from 
the viewpoint of transportation but also as a form of mobility that is 
indispensable to people's lives and what makes people's lives more 
affluent.
Therefore, we have changed the evaluation criteria of the contest as 
follows:
[Old] "Styling (priority is on the completeness of design) + Concept (
explanation of design: story)"
[New] "Social Design in 2040 (priority is on the Identification of 
issues) + Concept (solutions) + Design (visual images as explanation)"
We selected "Social design" related to urgent issues such as 
environmental problems, natural disasters, transportation safety, and 
energy, as well as the construction of a new social system centered on 
services.
