Commented D&AD president Garrick Hamm, “Judging the best work of the year is a tough job. I'd like to thank our foremen in advance for upholding D&AD's standards, encouraging lively debate and breaking up the fights - all in the pursuit of the best work.”
Foremen are leading creative specialists and play a vital role in upholding D&AD's high standards of judging. They each lead a jury of creatives who will decide what work represents the best of the year and will be included in the D&AD Annual. They then decide what work sets new benchmarks of creativity and is therefore worthy of a D&AD Yellow Pencil.
