Created in January 2007, the Pentawards are recognised as the most prestigious worldwide competition devoted to packaging design in all its forms. They are open to all those who are associated with the creation or marketing of packaging from every country in the world. Their primary mission is to increase the stature of packaging design and those who create it.
Each year, packagings from around the world are judged by a international jury of 12 highly reputed designers and packaging design Directors from major companies. The jury selects the winners based on the creative quality and the marketing relevance of the works presented. Winners receive bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond Pentawards.
