Vote for This Year’s Colored by INX Can Design Contest Winner

Voting is now open for this year’s Colored by INX Can Design Contest. Public voting is open now through Wednesday, April 22, to determine the champion of the seventh annual competition recognizing outstanding metal decoration creativity, craftsmanship, and shelf impact.

An independent group of five judges has completed its review and selected five designs that rose to the top for strong design creativity, precise color execution, and confident shelf presence. 

5 Finalists

• Victoria Aire Del Destino – Ball Corporation
• El Jefe Energy – Sinister Razz – Can-One USA
• Ova Drive  – Caribbean Can Manufacturing Company, LLC
• Mirrored Realities West Coast Style IPA – Fort George Brewery
• Return of the Lake Erie Monster Double IPA – Great Lakes Brewing Company

The judges evaluated each submission based on originality, overall design aesthetics, best use of the color palette, and the written project statement describing how the INX Color Catalog supported the final design. The group of five represents the highest standards in beverage can decoration.

Public voting on Facebook and LinkedIn will help determine the winner. As part of the official scoring process, the public vote is counted alongside the judges’ evaluations. 

Each judge ranks the competing designs, and points are assigned based on placement. The design with the highest total score is named the winner.

The point system is awarded this way: 1st place = 5 points, 2nd place = 4 points, 3rd place = 3 points, 4th place = 2 points, 5th place = 1 point. 

Balloting is open through this Wednesday, April 22. 

The champion will be announced on April 29 and recognized across the industry with an engraved trophy and a feature article in Color Perfection Magazine.
