Take a closer look at all the Pencil winning work on the D&AD website.
D&AD chief executive officer, Tim Lindsay, commented, “There’s been another strong showing for the White Pencil category this year with 36 winners, proving that creativity for good is alive and well. These results are a timely reminder of why brands and agencies must work together to make a change for the better. With the launch of D&AD Impact we envision this category growing and becoming even more integral to the creative industry.”
D&AD president, Andy Sandoz, added, “Day two of results and the first day of the D&AD Festival. We like to set ourselves a challenge! To hear that we’ve already awarded 235 Pencils is hugely exciting, but there are more still to come which makes the wait almost too much to bear. Thankfully we have a line up of some of the world’s best creative talent speaking at the Old Truman Brewery to take my mind off it.”
