Entries for the International Package Design Awards (IPDA) will continue to be accepted until June 1. Finalists and category leaders will be selected in different categories and channels of distribution for cosmetics, personal care, skin care, fragrance and professional services packaging. 

Any size company can enter and submissions are accepted from designers, suppliers and marketing companies. If your package was introduced in the U.S. or internationally from June 1, 2005 to May 30, 2006, then it qualifies for the IPDA Awards. 

The finalists in each category are prominently displayed in the IPDA booth on the show floor during HBA Health & Beauty America trade show and conference which attracts more than 18,000 attendees.  The category leaders and grand prize recipient will be announced at the gala industry awards dinner, Sept. 12 at the Sheraton New York Hotel & Towers.  Last year’s dinner was sold-out with more than 600 executives from the cosmetic and beauty industry in attendance.
