After last year’s success, receiving nearly 180 entries from student artists, Gung Ho! Pizza is bringing back the Students Pizza Box Design Competition. Just like last time, the competition is split into elementary and high school brackets that will feature great prizes for the six finalists and four grand prize winners. Here’s the breakdown:
There will be eight semi-finalists in each division (16 in total), with one finalist in each division receiving a Grand Prize (decided by a panel of Beijing artists), and one finalist receiving a Design Award (selected by the Gung Ho design team).
The 4 grand prize winners will have their designs featured on the pizza boxes for 3 months, along with their name, division, and self-portrait in the bio panel, which will also feature their school’s logo. In addition they will receive an award certificate, and a pizza party for up to 20 of their friends.
The 6 finalists will each receive a finalist certificate and a RMB 200 GHP gift voucher.
International schools such as the British School of Beijing, Beijing City International School, International School of Beijing, Beijing World Youth Academy, Harrow International School, House of Knowledge and many more sent entries during last year’s competition. The previous entrants blew away the company’s expectations, which as a result used four of the designs instead of only two as originally planned. Send all entries to rich@gunghopizza.com by the deadline of June 6, 2016.
There’s also the opportunity for classes at schools to take part in this competition; all you have to do is get in touch with Gung Ho! via rich@gunghopizza.com. He will send over a professional design brief with classroom notes and the official Gung Ho Brand Visual Identity (VI) Guide to use as lesson materials.
