While ‘vintage’ may rule the days of Convention, the IPBA recognizes that every gorgeous bottle was at one time a sparkling new work of art. And from there the IPBA PERFUME BOTTLE DESIGN COMPETITION was born. The competition is free to enter, and is open to anyone who designs and creates an original perfume bottle. The design may utilize any medium – glass, metal, pottery, etc. – and must fall between the designated design period between December 1 and March 1 prior to the Annual Convention, which is when the final entries are judged by ballot vote by members attending the convention. The top three are awarded cash prizes.
IPBA’s tenth Perfume Bottle Design Competition included 17 submissions and welcomed 11 artisans from across the globe (UK, Cypress, Saudi Arabia, California, Tennessee, Washington State and Illinois. Because of the war in Iran, the entry from Iran could not send his bottle.), each with his or her unique approach to design, materials, and function of what makes a desirable perfume bottle.
A hearty THANK YOU to all our entrants, and CONGRATULATIONS to our winners!
