Online Voting Is Now Open for People's Choice Award in the International Plastic Design Competition

Anyone with an interest in plastics design can now go online to view the entries in the second International Plastics Design Competition (IPDC) and can even vote for the winner in one category—the “People’s Choice.” Winners in all categories will be announced during the NPE2012 international plastics exposition, April 1-5 in Orlando, FL.

Judging for all other awards will be performed by a panel of nine. The products will be on display in the IPDC pavilion, Booth 21062, in the North-South Building of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
