DFA Award 2007: Recognising good designs in Asia
Half of the world's population lives in Asia. The mere fact that Asia in general is becoming more affluent presents any business with enormous development opportunities. This substantial and maturing Asian market has been the driving force behind many new and innovative creations that strives to meet the specific needs of the Asian society. The unique characteristics of Asian communities and consumers are becoming important design considerations for apparels, interiors, products and communications. Some of these outstanding designs have had tremendous impact on the Asian quality of life.

PENTAWARDS 2007: The Competition is now open!
Packaging Designers have until 31 July to enter the competition. Choose from among 5 major categories (Beverage - Food - Body - Other markets - Luxury) and 40 subcategories, those that correspond optimally to the creations that they want to submit. In this world competition devoted exclusively to packaging design, a milk packaging will not be compared to a mineral water, nor will luxury products compete against consumer goods. Specific categories (Pet-Food - Distributor's brands - Fine foods - Fair trade) will be judged separately.
There is no need to send the packaging. With Pentawards, everything is done on-line. It is easier, faster, more economical and moreover makes it possible for all types of packaging to participate, whether the products are perishable, fragile, expensive, very heavy, very bulky, etc.
