Other national design awards soon followed in another ten European countries. 2004 saw the first European competition. Pro Carton is now going completely pan-European, allowing young designers from all over Europe – East and West – to participate directly in the International Pro Carton Design Awards.

Two- and/ or three-dimensional designs are allowed. A maximum of ten entries is permitted per institution. All entries must be submitted (maximum size A3) ideally as a finished version for printing. Three-dimensional samples, models, dummies etc. must be accompanied by a sketch or description of no more than a single A4 page. A description is always welcome.
All entries will be judged by an independent jury. The jury will be composed of professionals from the supply chain: designers, and members of the consumer brand, retail and carton industry.
