Every year, Verallia, the world’s third largest producer of glass packaging for food and beverages, challenges students and young graduates from design, packaging and fine arts schools to work with glass through the Verallia Design Awards, a key competition in the field of glass design. For this 13th edition, the participants will be working without, or with, an audience, and will be perfectly suited to the game of innovative design. The 2022 sponsor, Lucile Viaud, a designer renowned for her work in geo-glassmaking, will accompany the participating students by bringing her perception of the material, which is intimately linked to the environment.

It is a real mode of consumption that is revealed behind the famous “dry January”. The leitmotiv is to enjoy moments of conviviality while observing a healthy lifestyle, by opting for drinks with little or no alcohol,” says Verallia, “Consumers want to assume their sobriety, without moderation, whatever their motivations. The competition is divided into three categories: “Still and sparkling wines”, “Beers” and “Spirits”, with five prizes to be won. The jury will reward the best projects in the three categories on July 1, 2022. A trophy and an endowment will also be given to the winners of the special prize and to the “godmother’s favourite”.
