tl;dr
We learned from our Prop 265 that the 2 main reasons nouners were against the prop was:
Lack of distribution / marketing strategy and budget
Low quality product design
Therefore the team has decided to run a Design Contest to address issue no. 2
Design Contest
We need a compelling design for our Noun Wet Wipes packaging. That’s where you come in
Designers may submit their design of what Noun Wet Wipes should look like and stand a chance to win the grand prize of 1.5 Eth should the prop succeed and that your design was chosen by the DAO.
Even if your design wasn’t the most popular, 2nd place to 5th place contestants still share a pool of 0.5 Eth as consolation.
Contest Period
The contest will run from 19/4/2023 to 3/5/2023 11pm ET
What’s the criteria for Winning?
There’s no set criteria for winning, your designs will be judged through a popularity vote. Nouners can choose the design they think is the best when voting on the prop itself. That being said, we believe the winning design should…
Pop!
Resonates with a fun audience!
Interactive!
Welcoming!
Nounish!!!
Ultimately, these Noun Wet Wipes purpose is to proliferate the Nouns brand.
Contest Mechanics
Contestants are supposed to submit 4 designs
The wrapper design
The flap design
The display box for holding 12 packs design
The 3D mockup of the product (optional)
Templates for the design as follows but please ignore the design on them.
Wrapper template - whiteout part is to print the information required by regulating authorities Due to manufacturing constraints, please limit the number of colors used to a maximum of 5
There’s no template for 3D mockup as it will not be required for manufacturing but it will undoubtedly increase your chances of winning.
How to submit your designs?
Just reply this discourse thread and attach the your jpegs together with your eth address (where you will receive the price). Should you win please email your design files to noun426@proton.me
By submitting your designs here, you agree to make your artwork Public Domain and hold no exclusive intellectual property rights to them.

GM! with the printing limit being 5 colours, does this include black and white? would also appreciate the indication of front- and back-facing sides of the display box. thanks!
Hiya, the 5 colours does include black but not white. Essentially the white is the base colour of the wrapper.
The display box doubles as the box holding the wipes. It can be opened and ‘torn’ into a display box. I have labelled the display box dimensions below. Thanks for the question !!!
thanks again, wanted to check again regarding the actual ad area from the print template vs the mockup shown does it fold over and down towards the base of the display box as illustrated below?
Your illustration of the display box is spot on! However you can increase the ad space above a bit more if there’s a cut out, which is possible as long as its attached to the box below. See pic.
thanks again for the opportunity, here are my entries:
items 1 and 2. wrapper and flap design with Londrina font,
featuring Nouns 426 and 587, with an expandable roster
wrapper and flap design with Nounstown font,
featuring Nouns 426 and 587, with an expandable roster
item 3. display box design preview
with Londrina and Nounstown font options
item 4. wrapper and box mockups
with Londrina and Nounstown font options
Due to the somewhat short timeframe I’m not able to provide everything asked for in the original post. The display box design and the print-ready files will of course be provided in case the design is chosen.
Anyways!
The idea is based around the fact that the flap is in the shape of a pill so naturally it should feature a pill head. The 5 color limit is kept by using a diffusion dither effect for the gradients (see 3rd image).
