Widely considered the world's toughest and most coveted award to win, the Yellow Pencil is the global symbol of creative excellence. In its 45th year, the awards span all areas of commercial creativity, from the traditional advertising and design disciplines, to ambient, interactive, gaming, music videos and emerging online categories.
"This year's line-up of foremen is both formidable and inspiring. From John Jay (Wieden+Kennedy New York) in Integrated and Chris Colborn (R/GA) in Websites, to past D&AD presidents John Hegarty, Michael Johnson, Martin Lambie-Nairn, and Michael Wolff," says D&AD chief executive Michael Hockney.
"Anyone with a passion for their work and a desire to showcase their talent on a global stage will enter the D&AD Global Awards."
