As part of a continuing commitment to promote, educate and encourage up and coming students in the creative industry, AdFest this year, has teamed with D&AD to feature an exhibition of the D&AD Student Awards winners from last year which showcases the best emerging talent from colleges and universities around the world.
Exhibited works will include first and second placed and commendations from nine advertising categories, including digital plus the Student of the Year category winner.
Laura Woodroffe, D&AD Director of Education & Professional Development said, “For over 30 years, the D&AD Student Yellow Pencil has been one of the toughest student awards to win and one of the best first steps to a career in advertising and design. Our standards couldn’t remain so high without the industry staying closely involved to help encourage the next generation.”
“I am delighted to be able to welcome D&AD to exhibit at ADFEST. We both share a passion for showcasing creative innovation, improving industry standards and for supporting those that are just starting out in the industry,” said Jimmy Lam, president of AdFest.
The D&AD Student Awards are open to any full or part time students enrolled on recognised undergraduate, postgraduate and Higher Education courses worldwide.
