June 10 MON - Aug 20 TUE, 2024
We are pleased to announce the launch of a competition to design the holiday gift wrapping for CIBONE in 2024. The selected design will be used extensively as the Holiday gift wrapping at all three CIBONE stores: CIBONE Omotesando, CIBONE CASE Ginza, and CIBONE Brooklyn. Everyone is welcome to participate, and we eagerly await numerous entries.
Theme: Happy Holidays.
Imagine the faces of your loved ones and create something truly special. It's not just about the items themselves, but also the feelings of the creator, the pre-gift-giving meal, the decorated tree in the room, gift boxes, heartfelt letters, and accompanying flowers. To celebrate the special day and cherish the excitement leading up to those precious moments, we present CIBONE's vision of Holiday.
Submission Details:
We accept designs for the Holiday-limited gift wrapping that will be used at CIBONE Tokyo (Omotesando and Ginza) and CIBONE Brooklyn stores in 2024. The final selected design will be directed and designed by CIBONE's designers and used for various purposes, including Holiday message cards, wrapping papers, bags, and website banners.

Artwork Title:
Blue Christmas Night
Artwork Comment:
Under the blue night sky on Christmas Eve, I designed with the theme of a sparkling evergreen tree. I drew freely, imagining the tree's pointed leaves and the glittering ornaments hanging on the tree.
Judges' Comments:
While incorporating the essence of the CIBONE brand, the theme "Dear Christmas" was beautifully conveyed through rich and expressive lines. The design exudes a dignified strength with a predominant black color scheme, complemented by vibrant hues that capture the excitement and elegant festivity of the Christmas season. The completeness of the artwork and the thoughtful consideration for easy adaptation to bags and wrapping paper were crucial factors in the selection process.
