About the nomination

Packaging is more than just a means of transporting and storing a product, it’s also a conceptual extension. It should not only catch attention or provide information, but also represent the product, extend its meaning and content, and meet the current needs of the target audience.

We expect interesting, thoughtful, and bold projects from competition participants that will enhance the product’s success.

You can submit real or imaginary projects to participate.

The competition does not accept works created for religious or political organizations.
