IT'S CRUNCH TIME

It's Crunch Time!

We are challenging the next generation of creatives to shake up the bar snack category.

Our game-changing student competition, RAW, is back - this time with a challenge to elevate the humble bar snack from basic to bougie.

RAW is all about giving emerging creatives a chance to showcase their creativity in a way that’s forward thinking and boundary-pushing. This year, we're calling on the next generation of talent to rethink bar snacks as we know them, crafting a premium brand that matches the elevated environments they’re enjoyed in and the drinks they’re paired with.

But this isn’t just about designing a pretty pack. RAW25 is asking budding creatives to create a full-on brand world with a unique serve ritual - whether that’s a classic packet, an unexpected vessel (teacups, anyone?), or something completely wild, like bar staff theatrically tossing peanuts straight into patrons’ mouths. To help generate ideas, we've created a custom generator that will assign a beverage, flavour, and consumer to inspire their concept. All that’s left is for them to bring the creative spark and a hunger for more.

We believe in nurturing fresh talent and providing a platform for the industry’s future stars. The winners of RAW25 won’t just walk away with a title - they’ll gain real-world exposure, industry mentorship, and the chance to make a serious impact before they’ve even graduated.

RAW is open to students nationwide. The brief is now live, and entries officially open on 14th April, closing on 30th April. For more details and to download the brief, visit www.jdoraw.com.
