D&AD Student Awards 2008: Enter online for the first time

17 January 2008

The toughest creative award for students to win just got easier to enter, as the D&AD Student Awards launches its first online entry system today at www.dandad.org/studentawards08. The educational charity is accepting entries to the 2008 awards from this week until 20 March. The Student Yellow Pencil is one of the best first steps to a career in advertising and design.

Students and tutors continue to download briefs in their thousands as the deadline approaches. Entrants can choose from a range of real world briefs covering disciplines across advertising and design with briefs for a diverse range of brands - from creating a direct & online campaign for The Army to directing a music video for Bob Dylan; from creating an animation for HSI London to designing a new product for the kitchen for Lakeland.

Nominations will be announced in early June. All nominated students and tutors will be invited to the Student Awards 2008 Ceremony in London later that month.
