Their inclusion grows the awards, which recognise global packaging design excellence, in the beauty, luxury fragrances and household goods sectors as well as beverages and food. “I cannot wait to get started on this year’s judging, this year’s panel is absolutely stellar! We continue to evolve, to learn new ways to work together, as Daft Punk would say "harder, better, faster, stronger,” says Clem Halpin, president of the Pentawards jury and design lead at Taxi Studio added. This year’s jury also includes 17 female judges - an increase of five from the 2021 panel. “As a panel we are more inclusive, more diverse, more reflective of the global nature of the Pentawards than ever,” says Halpin. Sustainable packagingThis year’s expanded jury also reflects Pentawards’ ongoing commitment to championing sustainable packaging with sustainability experts from WWF and Beiersdorf joining the Pentawards Sustainable Design Jury, which launched last year to recognise the progress being made by brands, manufacturers and designers across the globe in the sustainable packaging area. “The Pentawards is a crucial platform for raising awareness of the importance of design excellence in our modern society and I’m grateful for the opportunity to join the jury,” says Paula Chin, sustainable materials specialist at WWF. “We’re facing ever-increasing global challenges - not least the triple crisis of climate change, biodiversity and nature loss, and pollution and waste – so the creation of a Sustainable Design category is extremely welcome. “Over 80% of a product’s environmental impact is determined at the design stage so this community has a vital role to play in tackling these challenges and delivering better outcomes for people and the planet,” she adds. 2022 Pentawards JuryClem Halpin – President Pentawards Jury,design lead, Taxi Studio - UK Philip Neufeldt –– creative director, Estée Lauder – France Wendy Annonay –senior director, packaging design & development, Huda Beauty – UAE David Gadd –– global design directory, Mars Food – UK Marta Suslow –– sustainable innovation & transformation, Beiersdorf – Germany Caitlin Field – associate creative director, Amazon Kitchen Creative, Amazon – US Paula Chin – sustainable materials specialist, WWF – UK Jennie Potts – design director, B&B Studio –– UK Andy Liu –– founder & chief creative officer, Shenzhen Oracle Design – China Eisuke Tachikawa –– CEO of Nosigner & JIDA president, Nosigner – Japan Luke Li – creative lead / art director, IKEA – Sweden Neha Tulsian –founder & creative director, NH1 Design – India Gaël Le Bourges –R&D packaging senior director, Fragrances and Luxury Cosmetics, Coty - France Hernán Braberman – executive design director, Tridimage – Argentina Evelio Mattos – founder / host, Package Design Unboxd – US Paul Roeters – creative director, Studio Kluif – Netherlands Paco Adin – creative director, Supperstudio – Spain Stepan Azaryan – creative director, Backbone Branding – Armenia Pavla Chuykina – graphic designer, Pavla.design – Russia Camille de Dominicis – – co-founder, brand director, Eminente by Moët Hennessy – France XiongBo Deng – creative director, ShenZhen Lingyun Creative Packaging Design Co.
