Avery Dennison Continues Pentawards Sponsorship
Free self-promotion competition
MENTOR, Ohio, February 16, 2011 - As part of its ongoing commitment to excellence in the packaging design industry, Avery Dennison is once again sponsoring the wine, champagne and spirits category of the Pentawards this year.
Avery Dennison is a leading supplier of top-quality self-adhesive packaging solutions and sees this prestigious competition as an ideal way to support and encourage innovation and creativity in packaging design. The Pentawards sponsorship also provides further opportunities for Avery Dennison to collaborate with designers, converters and end users to create new and practical solutions that fulfill customer demands.
To celebrate the iconic 5th Edition and kick off the year, Avery Dennison and Pentawards invite designers to participate in a free competition before the launch of the regular contest. It will focus only on items produced for self-promotion.
Avery Dennison understands that self-promotional packaging designs exhibit the highest standard of creativity because designers want to demonstrate their talent and there is no client pressure. This competition gives designers the chance to show the world what they can do, and it could open up many exciting business opportunities for them.
Designers wishing to enter the free competition need to present any self-promotional packaging design for beverages that has been created anywhere in the world since 2005. At least 20 items must have been produced. All self-promotional designs entered in the first four Pentawards will be included in the competition automatically.
Entry fee: This competition is free and is offered by Avery Dennison and Pentawards.
Registration: Entrants must register by email. The registration deadline is Feb. 28, 2011. Designs will be judged at the same time as the annual competition. There is no limit to the number of entries per participant. Entry forms can be downloaded from the Pentawards website http://www.pentaward.com/newsletters/self-promotion-free-entry.aspx.
The Gold winner will be announced at the Pentawards ceremony in New York in September 2011, and Avery Dennison will reward him or her with free label printing for their next self-promotion.
