GreenerPackage.comProfile
David Newcorn has been involved in the packaging field since 1992 when he started writing for the packaging trade press. He joined Packaging World magazine as a Senior Editor in 1995. In 2003 Newcorn authored the ground-breaking cover story on Cradle-to-Cradle design, the first to explore its application to the packaging field. Newcorn went on to suggest an industry meeting and personally invited end users and suppliers alike to attend. The nine companies that met in the summer of 2003 went on to become the founding members of what is today known as the Sustainable Packaging Coalition (SPC).
Today Newcorn is VP/eMedia for Summit Publishing, parent company of Packaging World magazine. Newcorn conceived of and architected the Greener Package Web site, product database and awards competition, although the real credit goes to the men and women of the Greener Package Expert Network!

How to get nominated
"So again, I ask how the hell did these guys win an award when so many other (albeit 'smaller' players) didn't even get nominated?" The awards are open to anyone and everyone. No one chooses the nominees except the nominees themselves. Smaller guys and bigger guys alike can nominate themselves. No evil cabal or conspiracy here, I'm afraid. I'll let the Greener Package Judges address your other charges.
You CAN enter 2009 packages...
You actually can enter packages commercialized in 2009 as long as you don't enter that package again in the 2010 competition.
