Welcome to the 2010 Packaging Council of Australia National Schools Packaging Design Challenge Results
This year, over 3,000 students from 130 schools, from Years 5-12 registered to submit entries into the National Schools Packaging Design Challenge.
The overall challenge was to design packaging for any imaginary Australian product to sell in Australia.
Students worked either individually or in teams of two and were required to address simple technical considerations, environmental issues, creative design issues and modern society lifestyle choices of consumers and business. A high level of originality, creativity and innovation helped determine the winners.
Each design was accompanied by a rationale. This rationale was the most important part of the entry and judging process. It included an extensive research section on packaging materials, packaging needs of particular products from the points of view of the consumer, the environment and the product owner. The quality of the entrants mock-ups were added to the judging process for the four finalists in each category to determine the overall winner.
