Free Entries Initiative

D&AD are committed to ensuring that the New Blood Awards are inclusive, enabling everyone with the talent and drive to succeed to be recognised. We are conscious that some participants may not have access to funds making it difficult for them to pay the fee that enables them to enter the awards. D&AD can offer a limited number of free entries for individuals who match the following criteria:

• Not currently studying and are unemployed
• Receiving government benefits
• Have received a University/College hardship grant
• Receiving means tested bursaries for study

If you do not match the above criteria however believe you have mitigating circumstances to allow you free entry for other reasons, please let us know and we will assess your case.

Please note even if you meet the criteria above, we cannot guarantee free entry as this will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

The Pencil levels were revealed at the New Blood Awards Ceremony on 14 July 2022.
