The Pentawards Pipeline
At Pentawards, we want to do more - to create real, lasting impact within the packaging industry and help shape its future in meaningful ways.
Lead by our incredible co-presidents Chloe Templeman (Pearlfisher) and John Glasgow (Vault49), the Pentawards Pipeline is a new initiative all about driving positive change, supporting the next generation of design talent from every background, and shaping the future of our beautiful industry.
For our first step, we invited a group of talented young designers into the 2025 judging room for the Student Concept entries - giving them a seat at the table, a chance to learn, and space to share their own perspectives.
