According to the rules set by Avery Dennison, wrap installers from 53 countries across the world were invited to submit full-print or color-change wrap projects to be judged for the chance to win thousands of dollars in prizes. The projects were completed featuring options from the Avery Dennison Supreme Wrapping Film portfolio, including Conform Chrome, MPI 1105 Supercast Digital film or a combination of car wrap films to be evaluated against their regional peers by a panel of judges.

An international panel of judges reviewed every submission, ultimately naming the top 10 Regional Wrap Kings. The eight judges evaluated each project by the following criteria: visual transformation (difference between the before-and-after photos submitted), quality of workmanship and skill level of installation, overall public appeal and uniqueness of the design. 

The 2019 panel of judges included: Justin Pate of The Wrap Institute; Myles Kovacs of DUB Magazine; Yianni Charalambous of Yiannimize; Eddy Speelman of Speelman Graphic Applications; and Molly Waters, Peter Wright, Sarel Krüger and Frank Marquart of Avery Dennison Graphics Solutions.

Each Regional Wrap King will be awarded nearly $2,000 worth of personalized marketing materials, Avery Dennison products and passes to the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas, from Nov. 5-8.

On Oct. 1, Avery Dennison will reveal the four continental winners. These winners will receive a four-night stay in Las Vegas for the SEMA Show where the global King of the Wrap World will be crowned in booth #12659 on Nov. 5. The King of the Wrap World grand prize package is worth almost $5,000, with additional gift vouchers and exposure via the Avery Dennison website and web advertisements.
