will be there.
Will the information include the true odds of getting a job? Will it include stories from the 500 or so recent ‘graduates’ who did not get a job?
Will the briefs be better than last year?
Will the tutors still be recent AWARDSchool graduates?
How about the concern that AWARDSchool graduates emerge as cookie-cutter creatives, due mainly to the above?
Will there be a better reason to do AWARDSchool than the one on the website, which is basically that you won’t be seen by any CD unless you have?
$2K is a lot to pay to simply keep pace.
Our agency, for one, does not require youngsters to have done AWARDSchool. We see those who have the most interesting and creative pitch for themselves.
It’d be good if you put a name to comments like that. I do not disagree.
sounds good! which agency is that?
It was a great night, thanks, it was really inspiring.
I think the course could have done better to include all the graduates on the night and not just what the judges deemed to be the best, i.e.: showcasing at least one folio piece from every student.
The overall message that was drummed into us over the journey from tutors/lectures was kind of lost on the night, because a lot (not all) of the folio pieces were what we were told steer clear of.
I think the judging should be done totally anonymously, to eliminate persuasion.
On a positive note, I did take a lot from the overall course.
