This year's challenge

Students and non-professional packaging designers are invited to participate in our Design Challenge 09. 

The task: Come up with a lean, smart - fat free - packaging solution for an existing product that can be bought in retail.

Participants are free to choose any product they can buy in retail and prove they can create a better packaging for it!

How does it work

As of Monday 2nd of November participants could register on our website and download the full project brief with all details and had so send in their work by the 31st of January 2010. 

In February the jury will shortlist 5 candidates who will be invited for a one day workshop in one of the SCA Packaging's Design Centres across Europe and be given the possibility to fine tune their concept with our professional designers.

The 5 shortlisted candidates will present their final work to the jury at our award ceremony in Brussels when the winner will be announced.

What's in it for me

First price will win € 3000 in cash and an internship at one of SCA Packaging Design facilities in Europe.  For 2nd to 5th place we reserve a € 1000 for each.

Work with the professionals: in February 2010, five concept designs will be short-listed and have the opportunity to develop and fine-tune their concept together with SCA professionals.

Get on the shortlist, then come and present your design to our top world brands at our award event at the SCA Packaging Innovation Centre in the spring of 2010.
