of the design in production.
Food is part of every day and the demands on it are still grow-
ing, including its packaging requirements. Packaging today
no longer serves only as a protection of a certain object but
often tells a story. It can be a story of quality, origin, organic
or farm cultivation, or a story of preparation. The packaging
can elevate food to the level of a gift, it can entertain, surprise,
evoke joy, pull us out of the stereotype and return us to the
present. Like the food it hides, the packaging must meet the
uncompromising conditions for quality, environmental friend-
liness, and practicality at the same time.

Food and packaging belong inseparably together. And pack-

aging should always take food to a higher level. Can you design
such packaging?

About the competition
The Model Young Package is an internationally recognized
competition that has existed since 1996. Today, it is the larg-
est packaging design competition of its kind in the world
and, thanks to its diverse categories and vibrant community,
is among the most prominent designers. Every year, several
young talents take part in it. The word "young" has nothing to
do with age, but means "new to the field." Because age doesn't
matter and everyone can shine with an extraordinary idea.

Participants will present their views on the packaging of the

future, from which the expert jury will select the most success-
ful ones. Often these prices are a stepping stone to further
careers for the designers. Many young winners are respected
designers today: Jan Čtvrtník, who later worked for NASA,
IKEA or Electrolux, Ladislav Škoda, chief designer of Tescoma
or Jaroslav Juřica, author of the award-winning 002 chair for
TON. In recent years, foreign creators - Jamie Zabarte and
Adrian Sutherland from Canada, Maciej Jander from Poland
or the Chia Chun Chuang team and Pei Chun Hsueh from Tai-
wan - have also become increasingly popular.
