Vidrala celebrates ten years of supporting emerging talent in industrial and graphic design with a new edition of the Master Glass Design Contest. Now firmly established as a benchmark platform in academic design, this year’s contest set a new participation record with over 140 projects submitted.
Students from universities and design schools across Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom responded with enthusiasm, contributing ideas that reimagine traditional packaging, explore new consumption habits, and prioritise sustainability. In the final phase, ten finalist projects were presented to a multidisciplinary jury, which particularly valued coherence between form and message, conceptual originality and design feasibility.
Out of more than 140 submitted projects, the first prize of the 2025 edition was awarded to Pablo Ugarte, a student at the University of Deusto, for his proposal NEWTON.
The accessits were awarded to AMPELOS, by María Arroyo, University of Deusto; GARABATO, by Diego Martín, University of Navarra; and SKIRLA, by Sharvin Javier Romero, Complutense University of Madrid.
The jury, made up of professionals from the industrial and design sectors, recognised aspects such as innovation, functionality, technical feasibility and sustainability in the proposals
