The US Glass Packaging Institute (GPI) has begun accepting submissions for the 2025 Clear Choice Awards.
The awards recognise the contributions of North American glass to the image, success, aesthetic appeal, and recyclability of a variety of glass products.
Winners will be announced in 2025 and showcased in a variety of digital and print media.
Qualifying products must be packaged in glass containers manufactured in North America, and have been newly introduced into the North American marketplace between 2023 and 2024.
This year's programme includes a total of nine categories, seven of which are products: Beer, Cider & Malt Based Beverages; Food; Wine; Non-Alcoholic Beverages; Cosmetics, Fragrances & Pharmaceutical; Spirits; and the newly added Spirits-Based RTD (Ready To Drink) category.
Brands are invited to submit their product in one of the above listed categories and may also be eligible to compete in the Sustainability & Innovation category, which has been combined into one category, and non-North American manufacturers can enter the Global Member Container categories.
Clear Choice Award category winners are automatically entered into the People’s Choice Glass awards, held on GPI’s social media channels after all CCA winners have been announced.
Winners will be picked by an independent panel of judges hailing from the food and beverage media and industry, including lifestyle writers and design and packing professionals.
Submissions will be judged based on criteria including storytelling strength of the brand or product, package design, shelf impact and innovation.
Brands may register by completing the entry form any time up to Friday, November 22, 2024.
