Who may participate?

The competition is open for all packaging solutions designed, constructed or manufactured in one of the Nordic Countries. Packaging solutions made in other countries but sold by a Nordic company or ordered by a Nordic customer may also participate. Packaging entries must be marketed before the entry date and must not have been in any previous ScanStar competitions.

Entries can be made by designers, constructors, manufacturers or buyers of packaging with an approval from the other stakeholders. Each company has the right to enter an unlimited number of packages that comply with the rules of the competition.

How to enter the competition?

Physical samples of entries must be sent by post by June 7th, 2025 in two specimens: One should be filled with a product (if possible) and the other one should be empty. The entries must be custom cleared with no costs for the receiver.
