Packaging Design Awards & Competitions

Over the years we found ourselves searching the internet for competitions to submit work for SmashBrand.  What we noticed was the lack of a single source of information for CPG packaging design awards and competitions.

Here is a curated list of packaging design competitions we’ve found over the years, and we hope this helps other agencies, freelancers, and students find and submit their best work.  We are on the judging panel for several of these awards, and it is always inspiring to see the incredible talent from around the world.

We will do our best to keep this list accurate and updated with the latest competitions that we find.  If you see one that we’ve missed and is worth mentioning, please send us an email.
