Recognition
Awards that judge strategy and selling potential, not aesthetics.
Every award below was won by real packaging that went into production and performed on a real shelf.
International
WorldStar Packaging Awards, WPO 2026
A global packaging competition organised by the World Packaging Organisation since 1970, one of the most respected international benchmarks for packaging excellence. It gathers the "best of the best", usually entered by winners of recognised national competitions and judged by an international jury. You only reach the WorldStar after placing in a competition in your own country.
