12 STUDENTS FOR KL AWARD SCHOOL

Last week, a selection of top creatives from leading agencies across Malaysia judged the applications submitted for the 2009 AWARD School. Of these, 12 students will be going through the programme this year. Names of those accepted can be found on the AWARD School website.

“A craftsman is only as good as the materials he has to work with. In their search for brilliance, the AWARD School selection committee found some sparks. With some faith and fortitude, these sparks will one day shine as brightly as the stars who have graduated from AWARD School.”  Ted Lim, ECD Naga DDB Malaysia.

Supported by the 4A’s, AWARD School offers an opportunity for budding advertising art directors and copywriters in Asia and Australasia to learn from the industry’s finest.

“The AWARD school  presents an excellent opportunity for the selected group to interact with, and test their ideas and craft with a number of the  industry’s leading professionals.  We’re hopeful. As in its last installment in Malaysia, and in the countries the AWARD school programme has been conducted – it has unearthed talent who will make an important contribution to the industry. While not everyone who applied was  selected, I would encourage those who did not make the cut  to try again next year. ” Tony Savarimuthu, CEO McCann Worldgroup Malaysia.
