The international Young Package competition has been renamed this year and is now called Model Young Package. Also, the prize money on offer has been doubled. Another change is the raising of the age limit in the university category, so that now designers of any age can submit entries in this category. The 23rd edition of this competition has taken the motto of “Coffee Mania” and encourages entrants to submit ideas for ecological packaging around the theme of coffee – from cups and saucers to coffee sets and other products that have, for instance, a visual impact on coffee-related issues. The submissions will be judged anonymously by a panel looking at aspects such as sustainability, user-friendliness, producibility, and visual elaboration. The submission deadline is 14 May 2018.
