Following the success of past virtual editions, D&AD will continue its digital-first approach to the 2022 awards to guarantee the safety of its members, jury, and participants. D&AD’s distinguished jurors will once again assemble virtually to review the work, holding each piece to the same high standards that the awards are renowned for. The only exceptions are the Book Design, Graphic Design, Magazine & Newspaper Design, Packaging Design and Product Design categories, where in-person judging is essential.
Says Donal Keenan, awards director at D&AD: “Now in its 60th year, the D&AD Awards have grown to incorporate more than 40 categories judged by a cohort of nearly 400 of the world’s leading creative minds. Each year, our Judges ensure that the awards maintain the highest possible standard for judging, making it one of the ultimate creative accolades. Their expertise and insight will be invaluable when determining this year’s winners and which innovative, creative work will stand the test of time and inspire a global community of creative thinkers.”
The full list of confirmed Jury Presidents and Judges from APAC can be viewed below. Entries for the awards will be closing on Wednesday 16th March 2022. For further information about the categories and how to enter visit the D&AD website here.

There was a time when you had to have won at D&AD, significantly, to be invited to judge…
Your work should get you on a jury. Not guilting, or what ever it is you want to call it.
Every year I used to tell the junior mail-boy to deliver to me the D&AD annual when it arrived in the post.
That night, I used to take the Annual home, go into my study, set aside two bottles of red, light a large cigar and read the thing front to end growling in rage and jealousy at the brilliant ideas.
Next morning I used to barge into the Creative Directors office (back in the day when there was just one Creative Director and there were offices) and demand to know why we weren’t doing creative as good as the winners in the book.
It was my tactic of muting any salary rise requests.
(If you’re an MD, CEO, CCEO or whatever you can steal this technique. Works every time.)
The D&AD annual is precious.
I still keep a few.
My favourite is the 1972 annual with the green coloured scantily clad female on with it.
Couldn’t get away with it these days of course.
Now, from what I hear is that the D&AD is no longer a printed edition but now arrives in PDF format.
How did D&AD come to this?
I’m so disheartened I might find that old ‘72 annual, smash open a Barolo or two and light a Partagas in memory of greater days gone past.
PDF. Bah! Send to trash.
Couldn’t have said it better myself. The D&AD annual in a PDF format is up there with putting names and numbers on test cricketers’ shirts.
PDF format = making the work more accessible to anyone and everyone to get inspired. Not just the C-Suite, cigar smoking, red wine stained teeth dinosaurs in advertising.
