Winning Project (Tie): Giggle's Skincare by Felicia Pangestu Student RGD

School: LaSalle College, Vancouver, BC; Educator Support: Anne Ahmad

Giggle's Skincare is a vibrant, sustainable skincare line designed exclusively for kids. The brand believes that skincare should bring joy to daily routines and aims to transform how kids perceive self-care by combining effective solutions with playful elements to create a delightful experience.

Winning Project (Tie): MilQ — Interactive Packaging by Natasha Lee Student RGD

School: Capilano University, North Vancouver, BC; Educator Support: Vida Jurcic RGD

MilQ was created to make drinking milk more enjoyable for kids. The opaque milk hides fun pictures inside each bottle, similar to cereal boxes with hidden prizes. Drinking every last drop is the only way to reveal the full image.
