2004 Cans of the Year
Organized by The Canmaker magazine, the “Cans of
the Year” awards consist of 10 categories in which
winners are selected by an international panel of expert
judges. The overall “Can of the Year” title
was selected by attendees of Cannex in Denver, CO, who voted
for their favorite can. Dot Top™ was chosen over nearly
100 other can entries. Dot Top™ earned first place
