Pencil winners will have to wait until the awards ceremony on Thursday 19 May to see what kind they’ve won – Wood, Graphite, Yellow, White or Black.
All 749 Pencils will appear in the 54th D&AD Annual published later this year.
Black Pencil judging takes place today. “It is one of the most anticipated – and rigorous – sessions,” said D&AD president Andy Sandoz. “It is also the one that is the most difficult for our jury foremen, because selecting the best of the best from what is already a list of world-beating work is an almost impossible task. I’m excited to see which work, if any, claims a coveted Black Pencil.”
