Young Package 2010

Since its foundation in 1996, Young Package has gained both international reputation and distinctive position among competitions for young designers. This year brings essential changes. The visual style of the competition has changed; for its fifteenth anniversary, the competition has brand new web pages. In addition, conditions and categories have changed as well - so now the contest is open to designers from different areas of interest.

The Young Package competition is held on an annual basis. It originated, and is still functioning, thanks to the initiative of the company Model Obaly, a leading package manufacturer. Model Obaly sees the support of young talents as essential.

Eligibility

The competition is aimed at students and young creative people of up to 30 years of age. Designs made of corrugated or smooth cardboard are accepted, as this material has a broad range of use within packaging design.

• University students and young designers under 30 years of age - 750 Euro
• High school students - 750 Euro
• Winner in the Different View category will be awarded - 750 Euro

Terms and conditions

Entries sent by postal service will be accepted from participants registered through an online registration form. High school, college, university students, and designers of up to 30 years of age can register in two categories: Product Package and Different View.

With their entries, participants do not include any CDs or portfolios; they can use the registration form, which provides room for description.

Registration

To register, participants use an online registration form placed on the competition website. After the registration, participants will receive a registration-code by e-mail. This code must be indicated both on the entry (in a subtle and elegant manner) and to the envelope or package in which the work will be sent. Consequently, the works will be judged anonymously.

Schedule

Entries are accepted beginning 8 October 2009 until 29 March 2010.
The expert jury will be formed by 30 January 2010.
