Established in 1964, Starpack Students is a competition for learners aged 18+ which challenges students to design solutions to problems set by brand-leading FMCG companies, design agencies and manufacturers, and win recognition of their excellence. 

The expectation and key criterion for judging success is for students to really challenge conventional thinking and break the rules with off-the-wall creativity.
