The Young Designers competition was established in 1999 to celebrate students' extraordinary talents and foster the creativity and innovation of future package design.
The competition encourages young talent by awarding the best design students around the country through their creativity and ingenuity.
Submissions should contain the 3-D package provided by IBA as the primary design element with the outside package being the secondary design element. The description of the product and promotional photos are also part of the submission. Students should choose their own materials. This should be an original brand and/or product name.
The final submission information will be provided at a later date via email to the faculty contact. Complete the entry form to register your campus and students.
Students will design the label and outer packaging of two container options, generously provided by our sponsor, East Hill Industries, LLC, that will become a personal care product such as: shampoo, conditioner, lotion, tanning lotion, hair gel, bath products, face moisturizer and more . . . use your imagination!
It is a simple program that does not require a lot of class time or instructions from you! Give your students the information and let them work on it!
