Anyone residing in the U.S. with an understanding of the U.S. consumer market. Designers, design students, studios, firms and individuals are all welcome.
By submitting an entry to this design challenge (the “Submission”), the applicant agrees that all materials submitted—including design concepts, renderings, written descriptions, and other supporting documents—become the property of CMPC, the challenge organizer. This applies only to the specific work submitted for this challenge and does not affect any past or future work created by the applicant outside of this submission.
The challenge organizer may use, reproduce, adapt, or develop the submitted work in connection with the goals of the challenge, including the future development of packaging materials. Wherever feasible, the applicant will be credited for their contribution.
Applicants may include their submitted work in personal portfolios or for academic and promotional purposes, provided such use does not conflict with the organizer's rights or suggest ongoing endorsement or partnership.
