While the West has a zodiac of twelve constellations, China’s zodiac is composed of twelve animals. Every person identifies with an animal based on their birth year. Next year is the Year of the Dragon which is the first year of the Chinese zodiac and an important year of the zodiac cycle. According to Chinese tradition, China is the dragon’s homeland and Chinese people consider themselves decedents of the dragon.
In anticipation of the auspicious year, AIGA China has partnered with PoloArts to support the first annual China International Design Competition: 2012 Year of the Dragon. The competition aims to promote communication, exchange and interaction between China and the rest of the world by encouraging designers to create innovative work based around the theme of the Chinese dragon.
