The 30th edition of the competition that awards the best design in wine, spirits, liqueurs, beer, and extra virgin olive oil, with the aim of encouraging companies and designers to continuously improve their brand image.

Take part in the 30th Vinitaly Design Award!

 

The competition rewards the best packaging projects for Wines, Spirits, Beers, and Extra Virgin Olive Oils, created by Italian producers and creative agencies.

 

Projects from foreign companies designed by Italian designers are also eligible.

 

Entries must concern products already on the market or intended for commercialization, except for the “Limited Edition” and “Concept” categories, which are also open to promotional projects not intended for sale.

 

⚠️ Projects already submitted in previous editions are not eligible.

A “producing company” is defined as one that bottles and markets the product under its own label.

 

The “project” includes all packaging elements: bottle, closure, capsule, label, back label, neck label, hang tag, seals, and secondary packaging — the only aspects evaluated by the Jury.

The award that celebrates your excellence

Design, prestige, and recognition come together in a unique trophy, created to honor those who shape the identity of great brands.

 

Receive it during the Gala Dinner — the exclusive closing event of the Vinitaly Design Award.

The award that celebrates your excellence

The story begins with packaging

In an increasingly competitive market, packaging plays a central role in gaining visibility and recognition.

 

The Vinitaly Design Award celebrates the commitment of companies that invest in creativity and image.
