IXSIR Uncorks a Limited-Edition Bottle Design Challenge

Lebanese wine brand IXSIR is stripping its bottles bare—and handing the canvas to Lebanon’s creative community.
The brand’s much-anticipated Limited Edition series returns this season with the ‘Unlabelled Bottle‘ design challenge, inviting artists, illustrators, street artists, and designers to leave their mark on IXSIR’s Altitudes and Grande Réserve.
This year, the project comes with a purpose.
In collaboration with Rebirth Beirut, a civic initiative dedicated to restoring light and hope to the capital, IXSIR is asking creatives to channel their vision of light—on the shelf and in the city.
The brief is simple but powerful: turn a label-free bottle into a beacon of creativity.
No restrictions, no limits—just an artistic interpretation of light, joy, and the festive spirit.
Winning entries will be produced as part of IXSIR’s Limited Edition bottles’ collection, set to shine across Lebanon during the holiday season.
The selected winner also takes home 140 bottles featuring their own artwork—a collectible, a statement, and a portfolio piece like no other.
Designers may submit for one or both formats:
• For IXSIR Altitudes bottles : full shrink-sleeve design across the bottle.
• For IXSIR Grande Réserve bottles: premium front label for a more high-end execution.
Deadline is fast approaching, as it has been extended an extra week till September 7, with submissions already pouring in.
ArabAd is certain the passionate and the talented are the ones who will rise to the challenge and make their art the toast of Beirut.
This is more than a design contest—it’s a chance to prove that originality still matters, and that young creatives should seize opportunities like this to push boundaries further. After all, the best work comes when brands and designers collaborate on an artistic level—an exchange that elevates the craft, and ultimately, the brand itself.
