D&AD President Andy Sandoz said, “Black Pencil judging takes place today and is one of the most anticipated - and rigorous - sessions at D&AD. 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.”

“Today at the D&AD Festival, an exhibition of this year's submitted work opens for everyone to see. You can view some of the 26,000 pieces of entered work and be inspired by the crème de la crème of global creativity,” he added.

D&AD CEO Tim Lindsay said, “A look at the list of this year's D&AD winners shows how talent in the creative industries is now truly global. There are some notable additions to the top ten nations with the UAE and Colombia winning an impressive 14 pencils each. We have been impressed by the standard of work entered this year and look forward to seeing the final Pencil rankings at the Ceremony on May 19.”
