Are you the next leader in product innovation?

The Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Review/IFF New Product Competition has gone global, expanding the prestige and significance that your winning product will receive.

If you believe that your product is ground-breaking, then you can’t afford not to parade it among its peers in the upcoming P&C Review/IFF New Product Competition (NPC). And luckily, there’s still time to enter as the deadline has been extended until 25 May 2012.

Now in it’s 5^th year, the lauded event just gets better and better, and the quantity and quality of the entries is something to crow about. Previously, the NPC was only open to South African manufacturers, but in 2011, it was extended to include international brands too.

There’s never been more incentive to enter. This year’s competition offers the chance to showcase your new product – which was launched after 1 January 2011 – but also promises unprecedented exposure for all the entrants and, obviously, the winners.

The overall winner of the 2012 NPC will be invited to explore In-cosmetics 2013, including return airfare, accommodation and entry to the show, which is being held in Paris, France from 16 – 18 April 2013. In-cosmetics is the leading global business platform for the personal care ingredients industry.

Competition entries will be independently evaluated by a panel of expert judges; all highly regarded specialists in formulation, regulatory, marketing and packaging for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries. This year, the panel includes Wayne Van Wyk of Lipo Chemicals, Jill Gardiner of the CTFA, John Knowlton of Cosmetic Solutions, Andrea Protti of Rap Products, Clive Glover and Ione Eidelman of Symrise.

When judging is complete, each entrant will receive a comprehensive, professional, and unbiased assessment of their product. Additionally, they’ll receive coverage in P&C Review – in both the magazine and on the website - www.pharmacos.co.za.

The glamorous Awards Dinner will be hosted in September, where trophies will be presented to all the category winners. Apart from the trophy, the overseas trip, the publicity and the esteem, the overall winner will be given official endorsement by P&C Review/IFF NPC 2012 and be able to flaunt the status on their packaging and communication materials.

Last year’s NPC winners were She’Zen and Nutriwomen. She’Zen won for their She’Zen Men’s range, while Nutriwomen for their Anti-aging Skin Therapy individual product.

So, don’t hesitate any longer.
