D&AD today releases the briefs for the 2019 New Blood Awards. The Awards recognizes, educates and supports emerging creative talent from various backgrounds to get a foothold in the creative world - giving them a chance to respond to real briefs set by some of the world's biggest brands.
The New Blood Awards give aspiring young creatives a platform to gain experience solving a client brief, while showcasing their work and having it judged by some of the industry's most prominent figures, as well as a chance to win a prestigious Pencil. Those that win have the opportunity to apply for the New Blood Academy, a creative bootcamp that supports their journey into the world of work.
"New Blood challenges emerging creatives to work on real briefs set by some of the world's top brands," commented Paul Drake, Foundation Director at D&AD. "This year we have a fantastic set of briefs from diverse brands which can broaden students' horizons as to what can they achieve given the right platform of opportunity and encourages thinking beyond the confines of a discipline or subject. It is also great to have past New Blood winners featured in our Make and Break podcast with WPP and includes just a small sample of the excellent talent that passes through our New Blood Academy. I'm always in awe of the raw talent and potential showcased by the young entrants every year, and this year will be no different."
Creatives entering the 2019 awards for a chance to win a Pencil and attend the Academy have 18 briefs to choose from - set by some of the world's most iconic brands. Adobe, Microsoft Surface and Bacardà return, with The Times & The Sunday Times, Durex and LADbible joining the line-up for the first time. The briefs are developed with brands and strategists to reflect industry trends and wider societal issues, giving students the opportunity to apply their skills in solving real business challenges.
The deadline for submissions is March 20, 2019.
