Press invitation: An all-European PIDA winner will be elected at Luxe Pack Monaco

On Monday 30 September we will know who is the first total European winner of the packaging design competition PIDA. The 36 entries have now become four finalists from Sweden, the UK, Germany and France and now they will compete for the title Grand finale winner at Luxe Pack Monaco. PIDA is a BillerudKorsnäs initiative for driving development in packaging design, showcasing the work of young talent, and creating a meeting place for the packaging community – an arena for ideas and inspiration.

• Bois underwear – by Alicia Lundgren, Natasha Bosnjak and Christian Koch from Nackademin.

• Save the bees – by Daniela Betz and Sophia Huber from Hochschule der Medien, Stuttgart.
• Layers and Care - by Alexie Rossato, Robin Rousselle and Charlène Raymond from IUT of Reims.

Media are warmly invited to attend the event where the Grand Finale winner will be elected.

“We have arranged PIDA for 15 years running, as a way of driving the development of packaging design and knitting the packaging community tighter together. And with a Grand Finale at Luxe Pack in Monaco we want to take the competition to a new level. This way we can give the students an even greater incentive and introduce their design projects to a wider audience,” says Anders Gathu, Marketing Manager BillerudKorsnäs.
