2009 D&AD design entry fee cut, juries announced

For example, a single entry into graphic design has gone back to the 2005 price of £95/€150/$190.

Said D&AD president Garrick Hamm, “Thank you to everyone for agreeing to be foremen or on a jury this year. We've worked incredibly hard to find the right people for the job and are very proud of the final selection.

“However, in the end we can only do our bit. We've hired the room, set out the stall and in some places even made it cheaper. So now it's up to you to enter the work.

“ I hope to see some truly inspirational work; work that sets new standards; work that hasn't been seen before. And work that has that ‘F***, I'd wished I done that' about it. Then we can get the Pencils out."

Eligible entries will be accepted from 15 October 2008 until 21 January 2009. Work entered before 19 November will receive a 10% discount. Judging takes place 20 - 24 April in London and the winners will be announced in June.
