Tips for a competitive entry

  1. It helps us to know your story. The more we know about your can design and your brand story, the easier it will be for us to gain a greater appreciation when considering the finalists. Please let us know about your design process, the role the color catalog played, why you chose the specific colors, the names of the colors, and any other relevant design journey information you think makes for a great story. 
  2. Consider shelf appeal. It is all about standing out on the shelf.  Be aware of how your can compares to others in the market today.  
  3. Appearance, touch, and feel are important, so package your samples carefully as judges not only consider the design file, but the actual printed can itself.
