Who is Eligible to Submit an Entry for the IPDA?
Entries will be accepted from designers, suppliers, and marketing companies from small as well as large companies, and from anywhere in the world. The IPDA is a tribute to our judges that the awards are granted based on the merits of the package, rather than the market strength of the company.
Note: Awards are given to the marketing companies and the designers of the winning packages.
