Entries are now open for the 2024 Pro Carton Young Designers Award (PCYDA) and Pro Carton Student Video Award (PCSVA). These competitions aim to foster sustainable packaging innovation and recognize emerging talents in sustainable packaging design and filmmaking. Free to enter, both contests encourage students to explore the packaging industry and enhance their creative skills.

The Pro Carton Young Designers Award is a prestigious platform for young designers to showcase their skills and contribute to the sustainable packaging industry. It features three categories: Creative Cartonboard Packaging for Food & Drink, Creative Cartonboard Packaging for All Other Products, and the Sustainability Award. Students have the opportunity to gain real-world experience, build networks, explore job opportunities, and win exciting prizes.

The Pro Carton Student Video Award invites aspiring videographers to create compelling videos highlighting the versatility, sustainability, and innovation of cartonboard packaging. This competition allows students to communicate the benefits of cartonboard in everyday life uniquely, with cash prizes for the best entries.

Winfried Mühling, Director of Marketing & Communications at Pro Carton, expressed enthusiasm, stating, "Both the Pro Carton Young Designers Award and the Pro Carton Student Video Award offer a fantastic opportunity for the future generation of packaging enthusiasts to showcase their talent and, of course, the versatility of cartonboard. We will further extend the learning opportunity to allow the students a professional sales pitch of their respective projects. It is at the same time an opportunity for the industry to demonstrate exciting job opportunities for young graduates. We look forward to once again celebrating the creative and inspiring entries submitted for 2024."
