The 14th year of the competition confirmed a dominant position for Czech and Canadian designers. Once again, they achieved the highest number of winning entries. It was decided that the 2010 competition would be organized by the agency CZECHDESIGN.CZ.

2008

Due to internal changes in the organization of the competition, when the institute of the Czech Design Centrum disappeared and the Slovak Design Center took over the temporary role of organizer, participation fell. On a positive note, an internship in the Czech Republic with Činčera Studio and the sponsor company Model Obaly became an integral part of the awards. The previous year’s prediction by the award committee of continued dominance by Canadian participants in the competition proved true.
