The announcement comes ahead of the 2016 AWARD School information night, which takes place in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth on Thursday 4 February, enabling prospective students to question AWARD School Heads and past students on entry requirements, course content, and how to tackle the application process.
The application brief will be released and available to download from the AWARD School webpage on Friday 5 February. Successful applicants will be accepted onto a 12-week intensive course designed to spur idea generation across a range of different mediums, covering 10 creative briefs.
AWARD Chairman and Managing Partner of The Sweetshop, Wilf Sweetland, said: “For those looking to break into the industry, this is an invaluable opportunity to learn from and work closely with some of the best in the business - most of whom have experienced the course firsthand. We are calling for applicants from all different backgrounds, so even if you have never before considered a career as a creative but want to find out more, come along to our information night. We will be looking for originality, and of course stamina - this is a tough and competitive course, but also extremely rewarding. We look forward to hearing from you.”
