The Chip Shop Awards is about fostering and recognising creativity with no boundaries and no rules. It’s an international creative awards, open to anyone with great ideas. The 2008 awards ceremony was recently held in Edinburgh, Scotland, with brand guru Michael Wolff acting as Chairman. Here I feature some of the winning designs.

Lee Newham was the designer of the Loseley Ice Cream packaging, and his advice was previously featured here on davidairey.com with this article: 15 graphic design interview tips. Lee was unable to make it to the awards, and asked if I could accept the ‘Chip’ on his behalf. Unfortunately I had an important client meeting at the time, but it would’ve been a pleasure to attend.
