D&AD announced the interim results for the 2009 Awards today (Wednesday, 29 April), with a record breaking 165 nominated entries, including 10 from Australia.
Aussie Nominations include the Carlton Mid 'Woman Whisperer' via Clemenger BBDO Melbourne, TED696 Project from BMF Sydney, Schweppes 'Burst' via Exit Films, Melbourne, UN Voices Project from Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney, Sony 'Quantum of Solace' from Euro RSCG Sydney, and Sydney Dogs & Cats Home 'Throw us a bone' from M&C Saatchi, Sydney.

Droga5, New York has a Nomination for New York Department of Education 'Million' and two for Jewish Council for Education 'The Great Schlep'
Of the 20,000 pieces of work judged, 717 entries have gone In-Book and
will be included in the D&AD Annual as a record of the best work in
advertising and design this year. Yellow & Black Pencils will be
announced at the D&AD Awards Ceremony & Dinner in London on 11
June. The Annual will be published in September.
Environmental Design and TV & Cinema Crafts lead the nominations, with 14 from each jury.
The Graphic Design Jury selected the most work to go In-Book, with 112 entries - 13 of which were nominated, followed by Poster Advertising with 75 entries - 11 of which were nominated.
"I felt a touch of apprehension before judging began, especially so in a 'recession year'. Will the work be good enough? Have slashed budgets cut creativity to the bone? The results so far show that's not the case," said D&AD President Garrick Hamm. "D&AD is famous for it's tough standards, but this crop of nominations shows that the industry continues to produce great work. Will that translate into a record-breaking number of Pencils at the ceremony? That remains to be seen."
Black Pencil Judging will take place on 7 & 8 May in London. Three Black Pencil juries are made up of the Foreman and one other member of each original jury. Black Pencils are extremely rare and exist to award those pieces of truly groundbreaking work that redefine their medium. In some years no Black Pencils are awarded.

Just a quickie, what was the James Bond campaign?
It's got nominated, but all I can find about it on Google is this:

Not being a wanker, just interested in seeing pencil-worthy work...
So by that result, the rest of the world will conclude that the best piece of television work to come out of Australia/NZ is Cartlon Mid 'Woman Whisperer'?
Oh dear God...
Who gives a fuck about Droga5 New York?
Seriously.
I mean, sure, if they had like 15 nominations or something you could probably justify mentioning them but they got one. One. Fuck - off.
Well done Shane
Well done Gen and Hannes!!! You guys deserve it.
Well done Rich and Ant. Two in the book, one nomination. That means personally, you're better than Droga5 New York.
Gen, you've just given me a bone.

I thought we moved past this as an industry bout 20 years ago.
Apparently not.
9.15 you find a blog...wow. Where some nobody writes something about whatever he feels like. You're an embarrasment.
Well done to everyone who got nominated in the 'hardest' award show. Especially if you're not a pom.
Where the fuck is my nomination? There must be some MISTAKE!!
I agree it may not be the best commercial I've seen this year Ben, but I love Woman Whisperer. Fresh & funny.
What happened, you didn't get anything in?
9.15 - just try clicking on the Quantum of Solace link in the main article. There's a video there.
11:09 fuck off dickhead.
So pissing what it was a blog.. We're just genuinely interested in seeing what all the fuss was about.
I wouldn't give a shit if the campaign was tattooed on someone's arse, I just want to see what it was.
Man, there's some pricks on here.
The pressure of not winning anything at D&AD each year must be awful. Still onwards to Cannes and AWARD for more bitter disappointed.
How many 'in the book' Lynchy? I know Perth Zoo is the only radio but how did we do in the other categories?
One nomination and one in the book.
Well done Vinnie & Steve.
- Justine
Go the BLUES!!
D&AD is the bestest show ever. It rools
9:24am - I'm interested in reading about Droga 5 because they're an Aussie agency with an office in NYC that do good work like the idea that won a titanium at Cannes.
Relax.
