2019 D&AD Awards announces shortlists for the first time; India's 19 entries in the fray

As D&AD Awards begins announcing the shortlists from this year, 19 entries from India have made the cut and will compete for a coveted D&AD Pencil at the Awards Ceremony at the Truman Brewery, London, on May 23.

In a change from last year, when the Pencils that were awarded were announced after judging, this year D&AD has decided to announce the shortlist. This is in order to acknowledge the volume of high-calibre submissions which, even if they do not win a Pencil, were in close consideration.

The 57th D&AD Judging Week has come to a close and 1,642 entries from 58 countries from across the globe have made the shortlist.

Among Indian agencies, Wunderman Thompson (J Walter Thompson India & Amsterdam as entrant company) has topped the chart with eight shortlists across various categories for its work ‘Blink Test’ done for Jimmy Nelson Foundation.

DDB Mudra Group’s Project Free Period Johnson & Johnson’s Stayfree has been shortlisted in two categories.

Mullen Lowe Lintas Group, Ogilvy, TBWA\India, BBDO India, Makani Creatives, Creativeland Asia, Grey India, Ananya Khaitan and Ramya Reddy have secured one shortlist each.
