D&AD: Dodge the surcharge

For operational reasons, the awards will be closing for entries as early as possible this year but the organizers are urging entrants enter now to avoid a 20% surcharge that will apply to any entries received after January 31.

The organizers say that the surcharge is only to cover the additional costs associated with late processing as they "have a limited window to handle the thousands of entries we receive for judging, and processing late entries requires additional people and resources.

Entrants need only complete the online entry process by Monday 31 January to avoid the surcharge. Boards, objects and any other physical items can be mailed afterwards to arrive at D&AD by Monday 7 February.

The D&AD team will do their utmost to help you enter on time. If you have questions or need support contact the team on www.dandad.org/awards/contact and for further information or to enter the awards, go to www.dandad.org/awards/professional/2011.
