In keeping with tradition, the 54th D&AD Awards will be judged by some of the international creative communities’ highest profile members. D&AD only awards work of the highest standard, meaning that the quantity of top Awards given fluctuates year on year. The scrutiny and rigour imposed by the internationally acclaimed judges is legendary, and ensures that only the very best work receives a coveted D&AD Pencil.
Tim Lindsay, D&AD CEO commented: “The D&AD awards are truly international and our jury selection reflects this. The Jury Foremen are selected from around the globe, reflecting the depth, breadth and excellence of the creative industry as it is today. We are always humbled by the assembly of creative talent and this year’s line up is no exception.”
