A BRADFORD based company has launched a competition to help a new Yorkshire product get to market.

Sun Branding Solutions is running a "Win £10,000 worth of brand development" contest for local businesses.

The prize is created by one of the UK's leading experts on brand and packaging design and is open to any Yorkshire-based food and drink product in need of full band development or an existing product in need of a revamp.

The company, which has offices in the UK, Ireland, US, Ireland and India, providing packaging and branding solutions to some of the world's biggest brands, is offering strategic design, pack science, artwork, legal and digital support as a prize.

Paul Bean, MD of Sun Branding Solutions commented "We've been based in Yorkshire for 124 years and we’re passionate about our county. We would like to support some of the region's individual producers who may not have the budget but we know they have the Yorkshire passion. The winner will have access to our five expert teams across strategic design, pack science, graphics, legal and digital, who’ll help them create a brand and packaging that resonates with their target market, stands out on shelf and attracts retailers.

"It's an exciting opportunity for any producer."

One winner will be chosen by a panel of experts at Sun Branding Solutions after all entries have been carefully considered.

The competition is to be launched at Buy Yorkshire on May 16.
