Do you want to design the world's next most iconic glass? Don't miss out on the Glassology Contest by ONIS!

After being postponed in spring 2020, the Glassology Design Contest is back for its third edition, challenging bar professionals from around the globe to create the world’s next iconic glass and have it produced by ONIS.

ONIS, formerly Libbey Europe, knows the power glass has to make a good drink a great one. Constantly searching for the next big thing in glassware – and looking to the world’s best bar professionals to help create it.

Bartenders and mixologists from all over the world are invited to design glassware that complements cocktails and enhances the drinking experience.

Are you ready to become the next Glassologist?

The Gats range created by Yochen Verbeeck is a result of this competition, and has since become a big favourite amongst bartenders and guests!

How the competition works

The Glassology design contest is your opportunity to use your creativity, innovation and industry know-how to create the ultimate drinking experience – no glassmaking experience required.
