The D&AD Awards program has recently started accepting creative design and advertising work in its competition categories for 2016.
The Competition is divided into three main categories: Professional, Next (Photographer and Director) and New Blood and recognizes the finest creative work from around the world.
A D&AD Pencil is recognized the world over as a symbol of the very highest creative achievement. Winning a D&AD New Blood Award puts people under 24 on the path to the brightest of creative futures. Budding film directors and photographers also get the opportunity to be recognized with a D&AD Pencil and have their talent promoted back to the industry – in the Next Awards.
