The entry period for the D&AD Awards 2008 begins on October 10, and aspirants for the famous pencil have until January 16, 2008 to submit their work. The organizers want to meet the new needs of the industry by making some changes to the categories. The jury for "Graphic Design" will judge three new categories: "Applied Print Graphics", "Environmental Graphics" and "Moving Image". "Mobile Marketing" and "Broadcast Innovations" will have their own juries and entries for "Magazine & Newspaper Design" can be submitted as an online version. Details will be available from October 10 at Dandad.org/awards08.
The opening of the submission period will be accompanied by the first in a series of animated films created by Saatchi & Saatchi London. The films are inspired by the discussions that take place in agencies every day: They feature interviews with previous Yellow Pencil winners who will reveal how they came up with the award-winning idea. Winners of the 2007 D&AD Student Awards will animate the films.
