THE FUTURE LOOKS BRIGHT FOR MELBOURNE
Judges gathered in the Patts building last night to determine the winners of Melbourne News Ltd AWARD School for 2008. From 43 books, the judges selected a top 10, which was then whittled down to decide First, Second and Third. Patts creative Jim Ingram, who’s heading up AWARD School in Melbourne (along with Patts creative, Ben Couzens) said the work this year was excellent: "here was healthy debate to select the top 10, but ultimately first second and third were unanimously decided. The standard has definitely improved and I think people will be surprised to see the quality of work next week at the Graduation Night. It would be nice to have a good turn out to show it off."
The top students will be announced next Wed night (6th August) at Apartment bar, Little Bourke Street in the city, kicking off at 6:30pm. Entry is free for AWARD members, or anyone who was involved in AWARD School this year. A limited number of tickets are available for non-AWARD members to purchase. For tickets, contact Hannah Morden at AWARD on 02 9699 2999.
The judges were:
Jim Ingram and Ben Couzens (senior creatives, George Patts)
James Procter (CD, cumminsnitro & MADC President)
Brendon Guthrie (CD, Grey)
Grant Rutherford (CD, DDB)

Well done to all concerned.
With creatives the calibre of these involved, the students can rest assured they are being reviewed by the absolute best in the business.
Tough but fair.
Good luck!
I was under the impression that AWARD School Melbourne would announce a 'Top 5' (like last year), rather than a "Top 3". Does anyone know?
Yep, good to see some big hitters giving up their time to judge the next gen.
There are some big name creatives who don't give a shit about helping with stuff like award school, so glad to see these guys put their hands up.
Onyas.
Not to mention the tutors who gave up hours of their time every week during the course over the twelve weeks.
Judging only goes for one night.
Not to mention whoever painstakingly dumped all the folios on the floor with such respect. That must have taken, like, forever.
how exciting! can't wait to see some of the work.
Hello Friends.
Firstly, we opted this year to select a top 10, and then nominate 1st, 2nd, 3rd. The quality of work was seriously good, and we wanted the winners to be clear. What we didn't want was an 'everyone gets a prize' scenario. So the decision was made to keep it to a top 3.
Also, I agree with Anonymous (he comments a hell of a lot) about thanking the Tutors, and the Lecturers. These guys donate their time to help out and it's very much appreciated. I think the level of work this year is testament to the quality of these guys, so thank you again.
Come down next wed night and we'll smash some beers into our guts.
Jim.
Can't see my book at the top of the pile there.
Fuck it!
;)
Hope to get a good turn out.... for $45 I can wait
Will MAMMOTH MAMMOTH be playing on the night?
No, 5.06pm, this is a night to celebrate talent.

Is that the crap pile or is that the good pile?
