Omdesign once again becomes multi-awarded at the national contest Papies, the main graphic arts competition in Portugal. The agency of Leça da Palmeira won the “Graphic Project of the Year” with “Honore Douro” project, created and developed for Quinta do Crasto, and was also one of the biggest winners of this edition conquering even more ten awards: seven Grand Prizes and three Honourable Mentions.
“Honore Douro” packaging was an exclusive edition of an exceptional Douro DOC blend that gathers, for the first time, two prestigious Quinta do Crasto’s wines – Quinta do Crasto Vinha Maria Teresa and Quinta do Crasto Vinha da Ponte. This wine is presented in 1615 magnum bottles (1,5L) and each one is available on a differentiating packaging that reminds us of the typical schist of Douro, by its colour and materials selected, with a sample of “Quinta do Crasto – A story that began a long time ago (1615-2018)” book, that aims to perpetuate, in about 250 pages, the tradition and legacy of this unique Douro estate with more than 400 years of history. This project also won a “Grand Prize” at “Design” category, where was too distinguished with the same award the “Omdesign 2018” packaging, an agency’s self-promotion work.
The remaining “Grand Prizes” were assigned in “Packaging” category to two special editions created for Sogevinus – Kopke Very Old Dry White and Porto Barros 102YO. The Lisbon’s tax-free shop for Bacalhôa Vinhos de Portugal won in “Displays of Points of Sale and Cartridge” and the Blandy’s Wine Lodge in “Digital printing in wide formats”. The Pedras Experience museum was distinguished in “Multiplatform campaigns” by the creativity of its several supports that were created and produced by Omdesign to this dynamic and interactive space.
The honourable mentions went to Aguardente Mosca, of José Maria da Fonseca, in “Reliefs” category, to the “Fotobiografia Júlio Resende (1917-2011)” book in “Catalogues and art books” and to the “Honore” project, of Quinta do Crasto, in “Multiplatform campaigns”.
The Papies 2019 award ceremony took place, last Wednesday, at Casino Estoril.
