Tim Lindsay, CEO, D&AD, said, “The last few days of judging have been incredibly inspiring, and we’re excited to open our doors today for this year’s Festival. All Pencil winning work is on show throughout the Truman Brewery, and will give visitors insight into what creative excellence means today.”

“It’s great to see the range of work that creative minds all over the globe are producing. Long gone are the days when design and advertising operated in silos. The work being produced today touches many industries, and is testament to the value of creativity to business,” said Lindsay.
