Ten finalists of world’s most competitive packaging innovation contest announced at interpack

08 May 2014

The ten finalists of packaging innovation contest De Gouden Noot 2014 were announced today at 4 PM CET at the interpack-stand of NVC Netherlands Packaging Centre. De Gouden Noot is arguably the world’s most competitive packaging innovation contest.

The kick-off of this 27th edition took place on October 2nd, 2013 at the Atomium in Brussels and the deadline for entry was April 2nd, 2014. This provided the global packaging community with sufficient time to decide on participating and thoroughly prepare their entries. On April 8-9th the first judging round took place, with all packages physically available for the Jury to discuss. The 20-person Jury made their final choice for the ten finalists after this two-day judging procedure. With De Gouden Noot the NVC stimulates innovation of packaging and packaged products. The unique trophy with a solid golden walnut is the symbol of the contest.
