The deadline for entries has been extended to midnight, 2 April, giving the industry extra time to put forward the women making an impact across the packaging value chain. 

The awards recognise leadership, innovation and influence across the Australasian packaging sector, with categories spanning sustainability, design and branding, communications, manufacturing, and rising talent.

With nominations coming in from across the industry, the extension provides an opportunity for more businesses, teams and individuals to get involved and ensure the breadth of talent in the sector is represented.

PKN is encouraging managers, team leaders and peers to take a moment to recognise the women contributing to their organisations and the wider industry. Self-nominations are also welcomed.

With the new deadline now set, there’s still time to make sure the achievements of women across packaging and print are acknowledged.

Entries now close at midnight on 2 April.

A lot of food and beverage brands look strong when they’re small. They have one product, one pack, one clear idea and then they grow. That’s usually when things start to unravel, not all at once, but quickly enough to matter. The Creative Method founder and creative director, Tony Ibbotson, explains why – and growth is not the problem.
