Wow. An incredible three days of events.
New Blood kicked off with seminars, live briefs and work on display from universities all over England. Really inspiring work. We had a great time visiting the stands and talking with the students there about their experiences. Most of them know of the Circus and ask about it with wide-eyed enthusiasm.
The second day was 'Portfolio Surgeries'. This was for invited students only, but still managed to sneak 1 book review in there at the end of the session! That was followed by Pecha Kucha - a way to sort of unwind from the exhibition. Students were allowed to put up 20 slides and talk for 6 minutes about whatever they wanted. Becky(qui?) got a chance to talk about the Circus and what we're all about and people were genuinely interested and asked us questions after the show.
Day 3 - Awards Ceremony was last night. D&AD really put on a great show. Everything moved quickly and in the end, the Circus came away with two commendations. Nope, no pencils. But still and incredible ride all the same. Afterward we got to meet some creatives who set us up with appointments today. Stay tuned for how that plays out...

PS - From the very start of the exhibition, the folks at D&AD have been the most incredible, patient and supportive people to the London Project Team and we really appreciate all tthat they did for us!
