Screen shot 2011-04-08 at 10.19.23 PM.jpgFor the first time creatives will be able to visit the D&AD website during Judging Week – starting Monday in London – to find out the results.

D&AD will be exposing the decision making process even more – every day the organisation will release an initial shortlist of entries considered for In Book and above.

Once the judges have finished the rigorous judging process you’ll be able to see what actually made it through.

Judging isn’t an exact science so D&AD can’t tell you what time to visit dandad.org. But all day, every day, from 11 to 14 April there will be discussion, debate, news and highlights so keep dropping in to stay on top of it all.

Results will be announced to entrants on Friday 15 April.
