Shanghai Excellent Young Survey Designers Award is a recognition and reward for young designers who have made outstanding achievements in the field of survey and design. The selection criteria of this award are strict, and candidates are required to have outstanding performance in design ability, innovation ability and project implementation ability. Winning this award can prove that the winners have a high professional level and influence in the field of survey and design. In contrast, the rookie award is an encouragement and support for young designers who have just entered the survey and design industry. Although the rookie award is also an recognition of design ability, the selection criteria of the rookie award may be more relaxed than the Excellence award, focusing on discovering and cultivating potential. Generally speaking, the Shanghai Excellent Young Survey Designer Excellence Award is better, because it has higher requirements for designers, and winning this award can better reflect personal professional ability and achievements.
