Love the Qantas idea. Well done.

An interesting question about AWARD School is whether students should be penalised for presenting ideas that have been done and done well. The Band-Aid stuff was done better for medicine sans frontiers a few years back. Surely, at least their tutors should have been across that and advised them accordingly. One other point is that I think the emphasis should be on campaigns and not one-offs. They're what get you jobs.

Good luck. It's tough out there.

Annie you're a rock star.
Congrats.

Qantas is great, but how many times has the classifieds ad been done? And better. Surely a tutor should have knocked that one on the head pretty early in the piece.

As for Tarzan grip, I hope it's stronger than will power, hell anything's stronger than my willpower!

Good stuff Josip!

I love to see an Annie do well. Great work, you go girl!!

what is the thing thats tearing with the GLAD thing a thing thing...?

very surprised to see Band-Aid get featured. Band-aid ads are about as common as condoms in student folios.

another great classified ad? or just another cheap joke

Granted it's award school. But the band aid 'execution' is, in my opinion, in bad taste.
What's the second ad in the campaign, 9/11?

Come on, those days are over.
Strategy begins in school.

Kangaroos are a national pest.

So no.

Maybe show the 'deer logo' missing on the Tooheys bottles. :-)

holy white people, batman!

BWAHHH.

I did AWARD School a few years ago, got into the industry and have been consistently employed in pretty good agencies ever since. Thank god this blog didn't exist then. I would have been mortified to have had my work ripped apart by seasoned (yet anonymous) pros. My work was clearly piss poor back then. What I needed was encouragement and constructive criticism not scorn and derision.

Amazing achievement Annie Well done girlfriend!

And to all rest the top 10, and all those that completed and got into award in the first place!

U should all be proud! " )

so refreshing to see a female top i!

Love the Qantas idea - Harshy Boy you rock!

If you're a student reading this blog, I am so sorry.

To the wankers out there who's first thought after reading this article is to bitch and moan about work that STUDENTS are doing, mostly as their first ever crack at writing ads, you truly are the dank and stink of this industry. Sure, it may have been done, or could have been better, but THEY ARE STUDENTS.

There are people out there in this industry who donate their time to tutor, lecture and generally nurture these students, not for their own benefit, but simply to help these kids get a leg up in a tough industry.

And then there's you. A whinging piece of mould. Go away. You're bad for everyone.

Well done to anyone who finished awardschool. It's tough. Hopefully you get a job one day and the haters who write on this blog lose their jobs because of you.

A chick I met once got knocked off her bike by a kangaroo. True story.

They are pests.

KEARNSEY! Well done mate. Just the beginning.

Qantas idea is genius

9:12 Band Aid as in bad taste? How could the healing of wounds between two warring nations in bad taste? Are you a planner?

The plane has no windows - I thought that was the idea...
anyway, very good work/s! :-) good idea/s

I don't think even an extra large Band aide would work on a leg blown off by a land mine.
Could work to save South Africa from famine tho! Not.

really like the QANTAS ad. Nice work.

I don't get the glad bag ?

Finally a GOOD garbage bag ad the only one I have seen - I did Award school in Sydney hardest brief of the lot - and the one's on our wall were ordinary - LOVE THIS
