D&AD Next Directors Award

Festival

Festival presentation:

D&AD Next Director Award with YouTube & MOFILM

The Next Director Award is a brand new award set to unearth the best new directorial talent and promote it back to the industry. Both the winner and shortlisted directors will get incredible exposure at international screenings and through the D&AD and YouTube platforms. And to top that, mentoring from top production companies – which, for the right candidate, could turn into on-shoot experience or representation.

The competition is open to new directors with less than two years professional experience. Who knows, maybe you’re Next…
