D&AD Student Awards 2013 Formatting Your Entries

http://www.dandad.org/awards/student/2013/categories/10/open-brief How much does it cost?
The cost per entry is £20. For D&AD New Creative Members, and those on Education Network Member courses, it’s only £12. Ask your tutor to see if your course is a member. Do I need a tutor to enter?Yes – unless you're a non-student entering 'Make Your Mark'. You'll need a tutor to support your entry. Get them to register and you'll be able to add them to your entry later. http://www.dandad.org/awards/student/2013/getting-started Getting started Key dates Open for entries – 18 February 2013
Entry deadline – 20 March 2013
Getting started To download the briefs, you need to register. Everyone involved with your entry will need to register – you, your teammates, your tutors. This is so we can credit them if your entry wins. Each brief comes with its own brief pack, full of useful things like background information and brand logos. Make sure you download it. Choose the briefs you like the look of. Read the brief. Re-read it. And then read it again. Once inspiration hits and you start creating your response, be sure to stick to the deliverables asked for in the brief and the formatting specs. D&AD Student Awards 2013        Formatting Your Entries


All entries must be submitted digitally via our entry site. The deadline is Wednesday 20 March
2013. The entry site will be open from Monday 18 February. Certain briefs also allow you to send
physical supporting material – this needs to reach us by Wednesday 27 March.

Things you must do:
Stick to the formats and specs listed below, or your work won’t be accepted.
Provide a title for your entry. This should be unique to your response, not simply the name of the
brief. This can be supplied online.
Make sure that your main deliverable(s) clearly, and effectively, present your idea and execution.
Judges will view these first, and then look at any supporting material if they wish

Things not to do:
Don’t include your name, or the names of your teammates, tutors or college anywhere in your entered
work, or in file names. This is to ensure that work is judged anonymously and fairly. If names or
credits are visible, or audible, in
any deliverables we may ask you to resubmit them, or we may remove them from the work ourselves.
The exception is the Make Your Mark brief.

Don’t submit video, image or audio deliverables via email, on data discs, contained in zip files,
or hosted on websites. These must be uploaded through the entry site.
URL deliverables are only accepted where the website itself is part of the entry. Zip files are
only accepted for interactive work, HTML, websites, widgets or apps. PDFs are only accepted for the Copywriting Brief.

Your media must come from an uncompressed format (eg Beta, MiniDV or DVCam). Do not add a clock or
slate at the start of your film.
Your file must be multiplexed with audio and video in one single file.

Images
Image format: JPEG (PNG, GIF, and PDF files will not be accepted)
•   Image resolution: At least 300dpi
•   Colour mode: RGB
•   Minimum image size: 15cm on the longest axis
•   Maximum file size: 4mb
•   Image orientation: Images will be viewed on screen so landscape is preferred. However, portrait
is fine too, if that’s more appropriate.
•   Text in images: Keep any explanatory text in images to a minimum – supporting information
should be entered online.
•   If you are including text, use a clear font (eg Arial) at a decent size (at least 12pt). As a
rule of thumb, it should be easy to read if the image is viewed full-screen on an average laptop
.
