The topic was "Taiwan" According to selector Lu Ching-fu, the chief considerations for selecting art works this year were: first, that the works must be timely; second, that the artist must be creatively ambitious; third, that the works must be well suited for the exhibition space; and fourth, that there must be connections between the works that will create a sense of both diversity and integration.
題目就是「台灣」對於今年入選藝術家的選件考量，評審委員呂清夫則指出，第一在作品扣緊時代性，第二為藝術家需有旺盛創作欲，第三為作品與展場空間合適性，第四為作品彼此聯結，使展出多樣而具整體感。
