AWARD School is back for 2021 and is shaping up to be better than ever. Advertising Council Australia caught up with National AWARD School Co-heads Mandie van der Merwe and Jack Nunn to find out what’s ahead this year, and why all aspiring creatives should apply for Australasia’s best – and most potentially career-defining – course in creative thinking.
ACA: AWARD School recently announced some great new initiatives for 2021 – tell us about some of the things you’re most excited about for AWARD School this year.
Mandie & Jack: It’s going to be an absolutely massive year. We’re really excited that for the first time AWARD School is going to be a truly national program, with shared content, mentoring and lectures (including the addition of practical master-class style lectures each week from some of Australia’s best creative thinkers).
