IPDA Finalists 2004
This year’s finalists are the best of the largest field of entries ever submitted for the International Package Design Awards competition. These beauty products from around the world are the finalists in cosmetics, fragrances and personal care categories.

The fifth annual International Package Design Awards (IPDA) competition drew 147 entries—more than ever before. Held in conjunction with HBA (Health Beauty America), the leading product development event in North America for the cosmetics, fragrance and personal care industries, and sponsored by Happi and Cosmetic Packaging & Design magazines, IPDA recognizes the best innovative packaging in cosmetics, fragrances and personal care categories that have either mass or limited distribution. This year, there was such a wide range of products that finalists have been named in seven groups described on the following pages.

Category leaders in each group will be named on Sept. 28, opening night of 12th Annual HBA at the Third Annual Industry Awards Dinner in New York. An overall leader will also be recognized at the awards evening at the Hilton Hotel in Manhattan.

HBA will also recognize beauty industry executives and teams for outstanding achievement, presenting the following: New Product R&D Technical Award; the Lifetime Achievement in Product Development Award; and the Packaging Executive of the Year Award. New this year, the European Cosmetic Ingredients Awards will recognize outstanding European companies that develop, produce, and market ingredients used in beauty and personal care products. Dr. James J. Leyden, M.D. will be given with the Lifetime Achievement Award: Advancement of Beauty through Science, presented by Albert M. Kligman, MD, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Dermatology University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, the first recipient of the award.

How the IPDA Recipients Are Chosen
IPDA’s Committee of 100 industry executives reviewed all entries and chose finalists in each category. The finalists were then presented to a panel of judges made up of the heads of design groups from major marketing companies, who then selected a leading package in each category and the grand award recipient. The finalists in each category are shown on the following pages, along with information regarding the suppliers of various aspects of each package. Finalists are listed alphabetically with information on suppliers as available.
