PAC Global Leadership Awards now open for submissions

The Packaging Consortium’s (PAC’s) Annual Global Leadership Awards are basically the “Oscars” of the packaging industry. The global packaging competition is open to any individual or company directly involved in the brand ownership, brand/graphic, structural design, pre-press or manufacture of a package sold anywhere in the world. The package must be sold commercially in market from October 29, 2019 and no later than close of competition on October 29, 2020. Nominees from all categories will be announced to PAC’s member database via email and social media, and will be posted on www.pac-awards.com and www.oneof100summit.com. All nominees have a chance at winning the coveted Best of Show and Best in Class awards. These winners will be publicly announced at the ONEOF100 Summit on February 18, 2021 in New York City, pandemic permitting. Only Best of Show and Best in Class winners will be brought on stage during the event to receive their awards. No winners will be advised prior to this date.
All nominees will be identified as contenders in their category and will be featured in attendee packages. Once announced, nominees will be recognized daily on LinkedIn, through email communications to the PAC network, and will be featured in PAC CONNECT Magazine that will be distributed to approximately 17,500 packaging industry leaders.
