Making Vinyl Packaging Awards 2018 Call for Entries
If you were involved in the creation of a vinyl or CD package produced in the past year you are eligible to enter the 2018 Making Vinyl Packaging Awards, which is now accepting submissions in 14 categories that highlight why packaged media is still important in the digital age.
Deadline is Aug. 15.
Entries may come from record labels, art directors, designers, pressing plants, brokers, packagers, printers, mastering facilities, artists, and distributors from anywhere in the world. To be eligible, releases must be out from Sept. 1, 2017 to Oct. 1, 2018.
Submissions will be judged online by award-winning art directors in the U.S. and Europe.
