SA D&AD student nominees

8 Jun 2007

Students from Red & Yellow School, University of Pretoria, and AAA School of Advertising in South Africa have been nominated for the D&AD Global Student Awards 2007 and to be featured in the D&AD Student Annual 2007, D&AD announced yesterday, Thursday, 7 June 2007.

Students entered work into 32 briefs written and judged by the world's foremost designers, advertising creatives and business professionals. One hundred and twenty teams from 24 countries have been nominated for D&AD Student Yellow Pencils, with winners to be announced 28 June in London.

Garrick Hamm, D&AD Education chairman, said, “When we [the judges] had finished our first walk around the nominations tables, Tony Davidson, who is to creativity what Nick Hornby is to football, turned to me and said ‘this looks like the bloody professional awards'. You know the standard this year is high. Very high.”

In its 29th year, the competition identifies and promotes the best emerging talent within design, advertising and communications courses around the world. Judges selected a record 398 pieces of work for the D&AD Student Annual from 3600 entries this year, making it the most competitive D&AD student competition yet.
