Writing for Design Jury
- D&AD Awards 2025
Writing that is integral to a piece of design. Includes headlines and/or body copy.
Only for work that was commercially released in English. This is to ensure that the writing is judged fairly, not based on translations.
Work can only be entered into the Writing for Design or Writing for Advertising category; not both.
Judges will prioritise craft over idea in this category.
