Now in its 9th year, Dieline Awards has handed out a grand total of 397 coveted trophies. And while that might sound like a lot, this competition is truly the most competitive in the packaging design industry. This year alone, we received more than 1,400 entries from over 20 countries around the world, and only 94 of them received an award.
Submissions go through multiple rounds of judging based on criteria like creativity, marketability and execution. You might recognize a few of the Jury membersâpeople from agencies like JKR and brands like Chobani, and all the design gurus you love like Debbie Millman, Pum Lefebure, and Ken Lo.
You know, no big deal.
