Paul Weiland, Foreman of the Film Advertising Crafts Jury at D&AD 2013 said: "The level of excellence I've seen across the work this year is very encouraging. I've been judging at D&AD for a great number of years and there have been some massive changes brought about by things like the web. About eighty percent of the entries haven't been classic thirty or sixty-second ads and I think that says a lot about the current environment. Clients may be cutting back but there are some astounding pieces of work that are getting made on low budgets. I applaud anyone for being brave; for not just making ads that are cool for cool's sake; but which at their heart actually sell something. After all, that is what we are here to do."

Tim Lindsay, Chief Executive of D&AD added: "It's been another incredible year for commercial creativity, where we've seen the bar continually being raised across TV & Cinema Advertising. We might be migrating from traditional media to more digital channels but this is being embraced head-on and creatives are clearly revelling in the freedom and opportunities this brings to their craft and finding yet more new and innovative ways to reach consumers in a truly engaging way."

Rui Alves, Foreman of the Radio Advertising Jury at D&AD 2013 said: "There might have been predictions of a dip in radio advertising in terms of the number of entries and in client demand but having seen this year's entries I can truthfully say that radio is alive and well. I've been completely bowled over by the quality of work this year - it's been an extremely tough job to whittle down the entries and pick the very best pieces.

"There have been some very inspiring pieces to emerge and one trend that is really interesting is how the category is starting to overlap with other channels. I've come across work for example which makes you question whether it's a radio ad or an interactive piece. It's great to see radio continuing to evolve and yield really strong, creative ideas."

Paula Scher, Foreman of the Branding Jury at D&AD 2013 said: "Looking at a lot of the branded experiences promo videos this year, many of them talk about the number of Facebook visitors or YouTube views or how viral it was but I question what brands actually get out of that and whether it turns into action or business. They might create buzz and promote your brand but I'm really looking at branded experiences which are truly engaging and deliver measurable results."

I've seen crazy submissions of augmented reality projects as well as people dancing with holographic imagery - you could definitely say the entries are eclectic this year.

"One of the big trends I've seen is scrolling. This is definitely the year of the scroll - people are thinking about ways to make it more intuitive. There's also been a huge emphasis on social, which is to be expected, but I'd really like to see how that can break out even further, beyond simply adding a share button and actually engaging people in a more meaningful way."

There were a further 47 that were awarded In-Book status by the jury for the Film Advertising category.

Ezra Xenos, member of the Film Advertising Jury said: "One of the dominant visual styles coming through right now is what I could call 'polished realism' - I've seen this consistently crop up across different categories and regions. I think viewers are more used to seeing a less polished look than five or ten years ago and this is reflected more and more in advertising. The freedom to move the camera around and to create a dirtier, grittier look is liberating and it's really refreshing to see slightly more real cinematography styles coming to the fore in recent years."

Tim Lindsay, Chief Executive of D&AD added: "The quality of entries has been astounding this year as the amount of work being recognised attests. That over sixty campaigns have been awarded in this category reflects how despite the challenges of the economic climate, creatives are continuing to deliver truly great work, and are unafraid to experiment with new formats, technologies and aesthetics. The integrity and transparency of the judging process is legendary and is what sets D&AD apart from other awards so it's just incredible to see so much creative excellence coming through and continuing to raise the bar."
