Campaign designed by Airside
THE DEADLINE FOR ALL ENTRIES HAS NOW PASSED. Please contact a member of the Student Awards team on +44 207 840 1156 with any questions.
Notification of both nominated and unsucessful entries will be sent to the tutor who signed your entry form during the week of May 9. This will include all information regarding eligibility to apply for the WPP Bursary prize, and when your work will be available for collection by your college.
First and second prize winners in each category win the coveted D&AD Student Pencil, prize money and a certificate. Tutors of nominated students receive their own individual certificates, and all nominated work is showcased for one year on D&AD talentpool
"D&AD is the worldwide benchmark for creativity and craft. Every advertising and design agency worth talking to has a wall full of D&AD certificates. Every creative director you’d like to meet has a D&AD pencil tucked away on a shelf somewhere at home. Every creative in town worth their mouse mat has their name in the D&AD Annual at least twice. In short, D&AD is the currency of creativity and everybody in the industry knows it and respects it. That’s why as a graduate it’s the most important competition you’ll enter this year. The D&AD Student Pencil might be shorter and stubbier than its parent but it’s what you do with it that counts. Utter the tiny words ‘I won a D&AD Pencil’ or write on your CV “In the D&AD Student Awards Annual” and most agencies will be all over you like a cheap suit. Doors and diaries will open at a blink of an eye. You will finally stand out in a sea of A4 Black portfolios. Forget Friday night karaoke at the student bar and get yourself a pencil."
