Exclusive: Australia dominates round three of Young Glory judged by W+K legend Jim Riswold

CB Exclusive: Australia and the USA were the only two nations to feature in the winners list for Round 3 of Young Glory.

The international creative consistency competition saw Wieden+Kennedy legend Jim Riswold (pictured) in the judges seat for Round 3. He put participant’s classic advertising skills to the test, asking for ideas to be presented in poster format only.

Says Riswold, who has posted a detailed reflection of the judging process and winning entries on the Young Glory website: “I found most [ideas submitted] to start from solid thinking. Solid thinking is good. Elegant thinking is more good. I found a number of entries to contain elegant thinking.”
