Judges for the EPS Design Competition Announced The EPS (expanded polystyrene) Packaging Group has announced the judges for the EPS Design Competition. The judges will assist the EPS Packaging Group to select the winning designs to be prototyped and exhibited at Tent London during the London Design Festival in September 2007.
These judges will provide the contemporary design expertise, which will complement the manufacturing knowledge provided by the EPS Packaging Group. “We are very excited to have such a distinguished group of judges onboard,” says Tony Pruchniewicz, Chairman of the EPS Packaging Group. “We have had a lot of interest in the competition, both from students on design courses and from qualified designers. We hope to be spoilt for choice and to be manufacturing some really great prototypes for our finalists. “We have not limited the number of winners. We will prototype all the designs that we think have real potential in the marketplace and that show outstanding design talent”.
The competition closing date is 30 June 2007. |
