Online entry has opened for the 2009 Student Starpack Awards. The scheme, run by IOP: The Packaging Society, lets creative students turn their hands to packaging design.

There are twelve briefs to choose from, covering emergency shelters, protective boxes for internet purchases, functional packs for stationery, and packaging for leisure and food, to name but a few. Cash prizes of up to £500, work experience placements, and overseas site visits are on offer as prizes.

Entries are invited from students on part- and full-time courses in the UK and overseas. There is also a graduate brief, for those who graduated in the summer of 2008.
