Exhibiting
New Blood 2012
Creative careers start here.
2012 is D&AD's 50th year, so we're creating a New Blood to remember. The theme is Connections, and, in a myriad of ways, that's exactly what we'll be doing - connecting the best emerging talent to industry, across the world.
The exhibition will be held at Old Spitalfields Market, in the heart of the creative hub that is east London, between Tuesday 26 and Thursday 28 June.
Exhibiting courses will receive additional exposure on dandad.org as the New Blood Exhibition is recreated in the digital space. The website averages 45,000 unique hits a month, so that's a lot of potential employers browsing the work.
The New Blood Festival is also spreading further afield with events in New York, Madrid, Singapore and Sao Paulo, as well as in London.
In fact, we'll be creating a fuss about emerging talent throughout the month of June, culminating in the New Blood Exhibition & Festival, the Student Awards Ceremony and the launch of the Graduate Academy.
Entry-registration for visitors will open in late May 2012. Make sure you are registered with us to get an update.
