The Institut du Monoi has announced its third International Monoi Contest, a formulation and innovation challenge for formulators in the cosmetics industry. This year there will be two categories of award: formulation and packaging - to be evaluated by a panel of industry professionals.
To win the Formulation Award, competitors must formulate a Monoi spa ritual. First prize is a trip to French Polynesia, including a stay at the prestigious Pearl Resorts and Spa Hotels. The runner up will receive a set of Perles de Tahiti.
The Packaging Award challenges entrants to design the next Monoi de Tahiti standard packaging, based on available standards from any industry, including bottle, dispenser, label and visual. The winner will receive a year's worth of personal care.
Challengers for both awards should register online by 15 June and submit their projects before 4 July 2007.
