Model Young Package jury meets in Hanau

This year's jury for the Sweets in the Box theme gathered to shortlist the best designs and select the winners for June’s award ceremony.

Jury meets where packaging is made

The session took place at Model’s Hanau facility, specialising in high-quality packaging for perfumes, cosmetics and other luxury goods. After an introductory tour, where jurors gained insight into large-scale production, they moved to the facility’s designated area to evaluate over 120 shortlisted designs—selected from more than 400 entries by Model Group’s experts.

With so many strong entries in the High School and Unlimited categories, narrowing it down was no easy task. Choosing just three winners in each category, along with two special prize recipients, proved to be both a challenge and a privilege.

To quote words that echoed throughout the jury: "The whole event was exhausting, challenging and even frustrating - but in the most positive way".

Congratulations to all participants for their outstanding work, and a big thank you to the jury for their dedication! The final rankings, with the opportunity to meet the winners in person, will be announced at the Award Ceremony in Prague in June.

On the topic of fairness of evaluation

"It was good that we were able to judge in both categories and, above all, that any bias was removed (name, country, university, etc.)"
