iF Design

The winners of an iF gold award will only be announced at the awards ceremony. The presentation of these special awards will take place at interpack PROCESSES AND PACKAGING 2011.

The iF packaging award yearbook, a comprehensive and attractive document, is a constant and important part of the competition. All award-winning contributions to the iF packaging award will be published, including images and description in both English and German. This excellent publication serves as a reference tool the world over and is therefore a great advertising instrument for each participant. Each award winner will receive one copy of the iF packaging award yearbook. The official publication date is the date of the awards ceremony. The publication of all award-winning contributions in the iF packaging award yearbook is obligatory for all award winners.

The award winners of the iF packaging award will be presented in a special show at interpack PROCESSES AND PACKAGING 2011 in cooperation with the Duesseldorf exhibition center.

With some 3.5 million page views per month, the iF website is one of the most popular design platforms on the Internet. Visitors from over 100 countries come to find information about the iF competitions. All award-winning contributions will be represented with up to two images and a description in German and English. This exhibition is not limited in duration.

All award winners of the iF competitions will receive points in the iF ranking. 20 points are given for winning an iF award. For gold award winners, 100 points will be given to both the designers in the iF creative ranking and the manufacturers or clients in the iF company ranking. The basis for the iF ranking is formed by all iF competitions run throughout the last three years. The iF ranking is updated after each new awards ceremony.

Clients and partners should know when a contribution has successfully distinguished itself from the rest and received the popular iF label in this international competition. In order to make the most of this image-promoting factor, we offer all award winners a number of efficient advertising tools:

• Certificate for all award winners
