What to expect
The two hour webinar workshop covered four modules, the first three follow the format of the AWARD School application.
Module/Question 1 asks applicants a simple question. “Why are you applying for this course?” This module gives applicants tips on how to create an original and standout creative response to get noticed.
Module/Question 2 focuses on advertising as a creative medium, and covers the topic “What makes a great ad?” Hear from an industry expert.
Module/Question 3 gives applicants a simple print brief that they create an ad for, to get them thinking creatively. A practice brief will be available two weeks before the workshop for attendees to have a stab at in advance, linked here. Industry professionals will then work through some of the responses as part of the workshop, to demonstrate what a simple and clever piece of creative communication looks like - to help with your application.
Module 4 gives you some practical tips on what you can do between now and when the AWARD School application opens.
Who's it for?
We think this course is perfect, if:
- You're applying for the first time
- You've previously applied and missed out
- Have never written a response to a creative brief before
- Only heard about AWARD School when you saw it on Facebook or Insta, or someone sent you this link five minutes ago! :)
