New D&AD Global Awards entry system

D&AD recently announced a new and enhanced bespoke entry system for its highly respected Global Awards 2007. The new system, exclusive to D&AD, will ensure a more comprehensive and efficient experience for D&AD's tens of thousands of entrants.

This has been made possible by a partnership with ChilliBean, a digital asset management company, and represents yet another step in D&AD's continuous pursuit to improve all aspects of the Global Awards programme through innovative technology.

The ChilliBean-designed system is a complete end-to-end solution, entirely controlled by D&AD for the sole use of the Global Awards. The key benefits to an entrant are improved functionality and full control at each stage of entering their work. The technology will also ensure that D&AD staff can address entrant queries more efficiently and effectively throughout the entry process.

"The new partnership with ChilliBean is yet another step in D&AD's long-term strategy to continually improve D&AD's high-standard of service across its programmes and, in particular, to enhance the experience of the Global Awards", says Michael Hockney, D&AD chief executive.

The D&AD Global Awards 2007 Call for Entries launched this week. Go to www.dandad.org/awards07 for more information.
