The Pro Carton Young Designers Award, Europe’s leading annual young talent competition for packaging design, is open for entries for 2026. The Award plays a pioneering role in promoting sustainability, as it is the only design competition focusing exclusively on cartonboard design. The main prize for 2026 will be a two-day all expenses paid trip to visit one of European’s leading converters and manufacturers. During the trip, students will get a behind-the-scenes look at the cartonboard lifecycle from start to finish. Students will meet with experts and receive critical feedback on their winning designs and have countless networking opportunities.
