Sanitiser Packaging Design Contest - Fountain of Hygiene entries by 29 March 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded all of us on the importance of personal hygiene. Scientists believe that washing your hands frequently can slow down and also prevent the spread of corona virus. With several campaigns on the significance of personal hygiene, Bompas & Parr has come up with an idea to involve millions of creative designers who are forced to work from home in light of the pandemic.

The contest Fountain of Hygiene: Sanitiser Design Competition encourages the design community to create inspired takes on the sanitiser pumps now on counters worldwide. With designers developing aesthetic and functional approach to hand sanitising it is believed that this will speed up the establishment of new behavioural norms, to benefit the on-going health of global society and also guide people to safely move back to public realm.

Tim Marlow, Chief Executive and Director of Design Museum says, “Design has an important role in helping to solve many of the challenges that we face in daily life including some of those raised by the recent COVID-19 outbreak. We hope that the shortlisted entries of the Sanitiser Design Competition will demonstrate the importance of research and innovative thinking. We look forward to seeing the entries at the museum and raising money for an important cause.”
