D&AD 2027 Judge Nomination Form
D&AD juries are built around people with a strong rationale for judging, from established creative leaders to rising stars. You can nominate yourself, a friend, a colleague or anyone else you believe should be considered for a D&AD and/or New Blood jury. D&AD judges are selected for their creative excellence, specialist expertise, integrity and ability to evaluate work fairly against the relevant criteria. We review every nomination carefully, but submitting this form does not guarantee a place on the jury. All information provided will be kept for up to 2 years, then deleted.
