Creativity at the highest level: student competition results
POPAI Hungary Association has launched a competition for university students for the fourth time. SPAR was the main sponsor of POPAI Student Design Awards, and this year’s theme sponsor was Heineken. The awards ceremony took place in Winners Pub Sport Bar in the centre of Budapest, on 14 June 2023.
The competition was open to full-time undergraduate design students, who had to create display designs in 3 topics: a Heineken metal display, a shop in shop solution for Soproni, and a Gösser standing display.
