The Pentland Churchill Champagne Pol Roger Conscious Case Competition
11 January 2024
Deadline: February 29, 2024
Arts Thread has partnered with Pentland Group plc and The Churchill Centre as the platform for this competition with Champagne Pol Roger as the special Competition partner for the third time.
About the competition:
Sir Winston Churchill was Pol Roger’s most illustrious devotee and customer. Churchill’s relationship with Pol Roger dates back to 1944, although he had been a loyal customer as far back as 1908. At a luncheon given by the British ambassador to France after the liberation of Paris, Churchill met the charming and captivating Odette Pol-Roger and so began a friendship which lasted until Sir Winston’s death in 1965. Pol Roger was not just any champagne to Churchill, it was a drink that embodied the style and spirit with which he lived by: robust, mature and long-lived.
2024 marks 150 years since Churchill’s birth and 175 Years of Champagne Pol Roger. To celebrate this historic year, creatives are invited to design a sustainable solution for the Pol Roger Brut Vintage gift packaging that embodies this remarkable friendship.
Prizes:
First prize £1000, Second Prize £750, Third Prize £500. The First Prize winner will receive their design made up on a Pol Roger Magnum & will enjoy an exclusive tour of the Pol Roger vineyard in Epernay, France.
All three winners will be considered for work experience at Pentland headquarters in London.
