Rebecca x Pentawards

As one of the 50 international jury that judged our Pentawards 2024 Competition, Rebecca leant her expertise to help decide on over 700 shortlisted pieces.

Pentawards were then lucky enough to have Rebecca at our in-person judging, for the beverage category, where judges were able to look, touch and debate on who would be taking home the pentawards trophies. Watch this space for some of her comments on trends, the winning entries and what it’s like being a Pentawards Judge!

She also spoke at our community event, Pentawards Meets in July, discussing how designers should be working in a slower, more sustainable way.
