2011 Clear Choice Awards Call for Entries Announced
The Glass Packaging Institute is inviting all interested groups to enter the 2011 Clear Choice Awards, which recognizes the contribution glass packaging makes to the image, marketability, sustainability and success of food, beverage, and cosmetic products.
"Glass is a versatile, 'green' and exciting packaging material," said Lynn Bragg, President of the Glass Packaging Institute. "The Clear Choice Awards allows us to recognize the innovation that is taking place within the industry and highlight the incomparable style and beauty of glass packaging."
GPI will award top package designs in the following categories: Beer; Wine; Food; Carbonated Beverage; Non-Carbonated Beverage; Distilled Spirits; Flavored Alcoholic Beverage; Organic Food or Beverage; and Fragrance/Cosmetics/Other. GPI will also choose one package design to receive the Clear Choice Award for Overall Package Design, and honor eligible entries with GPI’s Conversion Recognition.
"The Clear Choice Award means a lot to us," said James Koch, Chairman and Founder of the Boston Brewing Company, which won for Overall Package Design in 2010 for its Sam Adams Barrel Room Collection, produced by Anchor Glass Container. "We created really wonderful beer, but we needed a great glass package to present it to consumers."
Clear Choice Awards winners will be announced on the GPI website the week of September 11, 2011. For 2011, GPI will again hold a virtual Clear Choice Awards event. All entries must be postmarked by Saturday, July 9, 2011. Get entry details
