Open for entries until the end of July 2016, D&AD Impact will shine a light on the power of creativity to affect the way the world works - in business, in society, in culture and in the environment.
The diverse selection of jurors - a mix of creatives, designers, marketers, C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, journalists and thought leaders - will be looking to award a D&AD Pencil based on three criteria: an original and innovative idea at its core; clear and measurable impact in its chosen category area; and relevance to the business’ commercial needs.
“Impact is ultimately the only meaningful measure of good design. As one of the leading promoters of creativity in business, D&AD is perfectly positioned to reinforce this positive message and I am delighted to help shape the conversation this year,” said Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO and author of Change By Design (Urban Living Jury president).
