D&AD – New Blood Winners
/In dispatches here is the 2026 D&AD New Blood Awards update:
Joey Cheetham and Sam Wilson have both won graphite pencils at this year’s ceremony. Joey winning his for his response to the Carrefour brief, and Sam receiving his for his work on the giffgaff brief. And it’s worth noting that Sam is currently on his placement year, so will have another opportunity to enter next year as well.
Once again, the New Blood Festival provided a great opportunity for students and staff to reconnect with our friends in London. It was pleasing to hear industry feedback on this year’s students’ branding, with a particular nod to once again delivering sharp, well-crafted ideas.
In other news the stand also received five ‘ones to watch’ prizes, a course record we think!
