Avery Dennison ‘Wrap Like a King’ Challenge Returns for 2021

Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions’ ‘Wrap Like a King Challenge‘ has returned for 2021, the company announced, and will run from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31. A new concept called “Local Edition” has been launched for the first time, with awards for 12 Regional Wrap Kings and three Continent Wrap Kings and Queens, the company said.

Beginning Sept. 1, wrap installers from over 40 countries are invited to submit their best full print or color change vehicle wrapping projects. “In 2019, over 150 installers entered the challenge,” Abby Monnot, marketing director, graphics said. “It’s great to be back. Wrap Like a King is an excellent opportunity for installers to showcase their best work. Their projects will be judged by a global jury for the chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes and be recognized by peers and customers.”

The combined prize packages for 2021 Regional and Continental winners exceed $30,000. The three Continental winners will also be invited to each select a charity to receive a $1,000 donation in the name of the winner.

“Giving back to the community is important to Avery Dennison. We are thrilled to extend this to the communities of the three winners of the Wrap Like a King 2021 competition,” Monnot said.
