AmeriStar Awards Competition

Hosted and judged by a jury of packaging professionals and industry experts, our annual AmeriStar Awards competition is committed to identifying the best in professional and student packaging design solutions.

Since establishing our competition in 2001, we've awarded nearly 650 professionals across North America for their exceptional packages.

And since launching our Student AmeriStar program in 2008, we've celebrated some of the best and brightest undergraduate packaging students for their innovative designs. 

We welcome submissions from brands, branding agencies, brand owners, design agencies, manufacturers, small companies or large corporations, suppliers, and students in the packaging industry. 

With 17 separate AmeriStar Award submission categories, you have so many opportunities to get the recognition you deserve for your best packaging solutions from 2022!
