D&AD judging kicks off
The four days of judging (26 - 29 March) also marks the launch of D&AD Congress 2007 – a three-week celebration of global creative excellence. Week One of Congress also includes a forum discussion about branding ethics and the environment presented by an international panel of D&AD judges (28 March).
“The standard of judging is what makes D&AD Pencils so hard to win. We have the toughest and best creative minds in the world debating – and arguing – about the work that should be recognised for setting new standards in creative excellence”, says Tony Davidson, D&AD president.
“The great thing about D&AD is the range of work you see, from graphic design to gaming, to 3D design, to ambient, photography and illustration – judging at the D&AD Global Awards is truly inspiring.”
The jury panels include the following creatives from South Africa:
- Interactive TV: Rory Sutherland, MultiChoice
- Packaging Design: Lisa Ting Chong, The Jupiter Drawing Room
- Photography: Michael Doran, Michael Doran Photography
- TV & Cinema Advertising: Rob McLennan, JWT South Africa
- TV & Cinema Crafts: Greg Gray, Velocity Films
According to the organisers, entries to digital, design, integrated and craft categories have soared this year, with Virals topping the table at a colossal 94% increase on last year.
Countries with first-time submissions include Bangladesh, Le Reunion, and Qatar.
