2020 Graphic Design & Sustainable Packaging Competition

On May 27, 2020 we explored fantastic entries by student finalists from five universities and colleges. These future packaging leaders were tasked with redesigning a KitKat package with sustainability in mind and adding their own graphic flair. Panelists and PAC Global Members Angela Dennis and Ryan Saunders from Nestle offered feedback on the concepts and presentations. The competition also featured live audience voting for the People’s Choice Award.
