THE JUDGES
The Fresh Awards Judges 2008.
A Few Words from Bil....
Every year the number of Fresh entries has increased substantially, and with that the caliber of work has visibly improved to the point where last year, the very best of Fresh was of a truly awesome standard. So it strikes me as blummin' important that you all spread the word of Fresh! Because the more of you who enter, the greater the work - the louder the voice - the bigger the stage... oh, and not forgetting - the bigger the stage, the bigger the party!
.........and a few more from Simon
The awards season always divides the creative community into 2 camps.
The first camp get fired up by the idea of competition and pitting their best work against the rest of the industry. They see creative awards as a natural extension of what we all do for a living – an
opportunity to reward staff, thank clients, and spread the word.
The second camp 'don't believe in awards'. They've entered them in the past with little or no success, and are tired of seeing the same old names always win.
Which one of these sounds more familiar to you? If it's the former, I imagine business is pretty good and we can look forward to judging the fruits of your graft at Fresh 2008. If it's the latter, well… it would be lovely to judge your best work too if you change your mind.
