We cordially invite students to participate in the 14th Student Zone Contest organized as part of Packaging Innovations Forum.

The competition is aimed at young designers who want to present their packaging design ideas, gain experience, and establish first contacts in the packaging and graphic industry. Participants can submit their projects in three categories:

• Impression
• Functionality and form
• Graphic design

Competition schedule:

• 31 January - 31 May 2025 - deadline for submitting applications via the application form,
• 3 July 2025 - announcement of 12 finalists selected by a jury consisting of industry experts,
• 8-9 October 2025 - contest finals during Packaging Innovations Forum at EXPO Kraków, where the finalists will present their projects to Jury members in a specially created exhibition zone.

The contest winners will win cash prizes, statuettes, promotion of their idea among the participants of Packaging Innovations Forum, and the opportunity to take part in the international WorldStar Student Awards competition organized by the World Packaging Organization (WPO).

Taking part in the competition is a unique opportunity for professional development and the opportunity to present your skills to potential employers and business partners.
