This competition offers you to imagine an innovative project of bottles or glass jars around a defined theme. Verallia positions itself as an incubator of the project which may have a chance to be marketed. Try your luck !
Who ?
The contest is open to all students or youngs graduates in design, packaging but also plastic arts schools.
Why ?
Participate in this contest is to discover the material through a practical case of development in semi professional conditions. The Verallia Design Awards contest is also a contest classified in the TOP 10 of the students competitions to promote its CV.
How ?
Participate in the adventure! Take inspiration from the theme of this year, “French Glass” and promote the “Made in France”.
Theme 2021 Glass in solo format
You will imagine a glass bottle or jar that allows the consumer to access the right portion without sacrificing the demands for quality and pleasure offered by the material glass.
Your project will offer an innovative and aesthetic form, which will meet the constraints of individual consumption through its ergonomics and functionalities.
This theme applies to the 4 categories: Still and sparkling wines - Spirits - Beers, water and non-alcoholic drinks - Food.

Special prize 2021 Offer him glass packaging
For brands and producers of beverages or food products, glass is a material that reveals the product and can sublimate it: its transparency, its touch, its shine are all aesthetic assets at their service.
You will choose a food product or a non-alcoholic drink, currently packaged in a container that is not made of glass (plastic, cardboard, aluminum, etc.) and imagine a new glass packaging for this or this one.
Your mission: to make consumers want to change their habits and adopt this new glass packaging!
Your file will include a glass packaging proposal (3D plan, etc.) dedicated to a product, as well as an argument which will detail the reasons for choosing this particular product and the benefits provided by the new packaging (consumer study, economic study ,…).
A visual presentation in a department or consumption of the final product will be appreciated.
