The Competition

JUDGED BY
SPECIALISTS.

Every entry is reviewed by a carefully selected global jury of packaging design experts, brand leaders, creative directors, and industry innovators. No judge may vote on their own work.

Judging is conducted by category, with specialists evaluating the work most relevant to their expertise. Entries are scored on Creativity, Marketability, Innovation, Execution, and On-Pack Branding.
