We are delighted to officially announce the judging panel for the 2016 Creativepool Annual, which we hope exceeds the overwhelming success of the 2015 Annual, which not only contained some of the greatest creative work of the year but was all wrapped in a beautifully crafted package printed by the lovely team at Ambrose Press. The panel for 2016 is not only larger, but far more eclectic, and is stocked with a broader array of professionals who represent the very best that their individual fields have to offer.
Jean Jullien, who joins the panel for the first time this year, is the renowned graphic artist behind the “Peace for Paris” symbol, which went viral last month, and Google Creative Labs leader Tom Seymour not only has a wealth of experience under his belt at arguably the largest technology company in the world, but as a top creative at Wieden + Kennedy. Other notable judges, and first-time additions to the judging roster, include Saatchi & Saatchi creative director Adam Chiappe, Jelly London founder Chris Jelly, Havas WW head of technology & innovation Michael Olaye, Blink Ink Director Greg Barth, VCCP Berlin managing director Robin Karakash, and Gensler senior associate Amanda Baldwin and many others..

We are thrilled with the judges for the 2016 Annual (over the moon in fact), please remember that submissions are still open for the 2016 Annual, and don't close until
28 January 2016, with People's Choice voting to begin on 3 February 2016, and judging following this date.
If you're still on the fence about pulling the trigger and entering your creative work for inclusion in this year's annual (as a company or an individual), the benefits of a becoming a winner are vast and unique. As well as having their work featured in a beautifully crafted book that will be put in the hands of industry leaders, on agency coffee tables, and exhibited at the coolest creative events, companies and individuals will be given a free pro account for one whole year and as a shortlisted entry, an incredibly desirable Winner badge on their Creativepool profiles and be invited to the Annual Launch Party in March 2016 in London.
The Annual 2016 is set to become one of the most desirable awards in the creative community, with an exposure unrivalled by any other creative award. With 15,000 perfectly bound physical copies to be printed (as well a digital equivalent available online), the annual will be distributed amongst some of the top creative companies in the world. Last year it appeared at Cannes Lions, Clerkenwell Design Week, London Design Festival, and at all Creativepool events (not to mention its digital distribution), so this placement will secure you a chance to be seen by all your peers, colleagues and competitors. So what are you waiting for?
Submissions Open!
Deadline: 28th January 2016
