Every year, the students of the “Meroni Institute” situated in Lissone (MB, Italy)—particularly those attending the Graphic Design program, which aligns closely with our company’s productions—are engaged by Proramillenote in a contest that includes three cash prizes. This contest offers participants the opportunity to design eco-sustainable desk brand reminders.

The designs are evaluated based on a comprehensive set of criteria, which includes innovation, creativity, quality, and presentation. We also assess the students’ ability to understand the demands of our target market and consider the feasibility of bringing their projects into production. This rigorous evaluation process ensures that we recognize and appreciate the most promising and relevant ideas.

Significant points are awarded for the most eco-sustainable proposals based on the choice of materials and the most advanced papermaking solutions. Given the limited availability of natural resources and the pitfalls of destructive consumerism, we emphasize to the students that design must also demonstrate ecological awareness by proposing materials that have a minimal impact on the environment. We also offer long-lasting solutions with low production costs.

Winners are guaranteed:

• A cash prize equivalent to a scholarship (1,000 euros for first place, 500 euros for second place, 300 euros for third place)
• The actual all-Italian production of their brand reminder
• Personal branding for young designers by featuring their names on samples offered to customers and on product communications on our corporate website.
• 3 special mentions worth €100 each (for logo design, professional presentation, and creativity)

The beauty of doing well and sharing it.
