About WorldStar Student
The WorldStar Student Awards competition is owned and produced by the World Packaging Organisation. It is an international packaging design competition for students – undergraduate or graduate – from countries around the world who are involved in projects in the field of packaging, including structural design and/or graphic design.
The competition is open to students who have won a legitimate local award (endorsed by a WPO member organisation) in their region or country or to any entry that is endorsed or supported by the local WPO member organisation.
Entries open on 1st May 2025 and will close on on 1st November 2025. (Extended to 15 November 2025)
Why WorldStar Student Awards?
The competition is designed to encourage and showcase the talents of students as well as new and innovative ideas and thinking in the field of packaging. Through the publicity of WPO's global publications, website, and social media platforms student winners are provided the opportunity to gain professional acknowledgment and entrance into a career as a packaging professional. A WorldStar Student Award certificate or trophy also adds strategic credibility to student's CV and portfolio.
Who Can Participate?
This competition is open to students enrolled in a collegiate-level design programme; packaging engineering programme; or other related tertiary education programmes that cover a packaging element (undergraduate or graduate) anywhere in the world who have already won an award at a national/multi-national competition for students organized or recognised by that country's or region’s WPO member National Packaging Body.
To allow entries from countries without a Student Packaging competition or awards programme, entries are also accepted that are endorsed or supported by the local WPO member organisation. This may be applied to any entry endorsed or supported by the local WPO member organisation (even those with an existing Student competition).
