The Lithuanian Design Association invites designers and clients to submit entries to the Baltic-wide packaging design competition NAPA Baltic Awards, held for the 11th time this year. The deadline for submissions is April 24. The awards ceremony will take place on May 22 in Vilnius, where the NAPA Talks conference — the only event in the Baltics focused on packaging design — will also be held.
Entries created since 2025 are eligible for the NAPA Baltic Awards competition — these may include both industrially manufactured packaging and prototypes that can be mass-produced. Packaging design entries will compete in 11 different categories: fresh food; prepared meals; confectionery, snacks, and desserts; non-alcoholic beverages; low-alcohol beverages; high-alcohol beverages; health and beauty; private label, limited-edition products; artisan products; other products that do not fit into specific categories or fall into several of them.
Entries will be evaluated and the best works selected by an international jury, which will include creative and design professionals, manufacturers, marketing specialists, and scientists from the Baltic states. The evaluation will take place in two rounds — first, the jury will select the best entries by evaluating the information provided in the submissions and images of the packaging, while in the second round, the physical packaging will be evaluated.
Every year, an exhibition of the NAPA Baltic Awards finalists takes place in Vilnius, opening on the day of the competition’s awards ceremony. This year, it will be held on May 22, when the NAPA Talks conference on the theme Matter of Taste will also take place.
The deadline for submissions is April 24. Entries can be submitted at a reduced rate until April 1. For more information about the NAPA Baltic Awards and related events, visit the competition’s website.
