D&AD New Blood Shift is our intensive night school program that places an emphasis on raw, untrained talent. Shift compels its students to make the best creative work of their life. This is accomplished through workshops, talks by those at the top of their game and real client briefs that will help you transform your creative talents into tangible, marketable skills that can excel you forward into a career in the creative industries.

Shift runs from February to May. We meet two evenings a week and occasional Saturdays in agencies around New York.

If you're over 18, don't hold a bachelor’s degree and aren't currently enrolled in a four-year undergraduate program, apply for New Blood Shift. We want to see up to three examples of the sort of creative work that you already do. This might be design, a campaign concept, an artwork, a video, photographs, lyrics, a story...it's up to you what you share with us. Learn how to use your creative abilities in a career in advertising and design.

Applications now open. Deadline 13 January 2019.
