The best of advertising

The Australasian Writers and Art Directors Association (AWARD) has announced the release of its AWARD annual, the Compendium of Master PR Photography.

The Compendium, also known as the 2009 AWARD Annual, showcases the best creative work of the Australasian advertising industry in 2008/2009 across twelve categories and includes an accompanying two-disk DVD set containing all winning and finalist entries.

“More detailed than last year’s mostly revised edition, the fully revised edition cannot be revised any further. So please, sit back, wash your hands and enjoy one of Hans Beckenbauer’s greatest ever compendiums,” said Guy Fletcher and Brendan Donnelly, from DDB Sydney, the creative team behind the book.

The 2009 Compendium of Master PR Photography is a joint venture between DDB Sydney (concept), Brendan Donnelly and Guy Futcher (creative team), Matt Eastwood (ECD), Mark Harricks (CD), Jason Young (designer), Matt Bright (retoucher), Steve Thurlby (design), Helen Drew (print production), Alette Winfield (editing and project management), Gold AWARD sponsor FSM (DVD production) and Rothfield Print Management.

AWARD members who have ordered the 2009 AWARD Annual will receive the book this week, while non members can order the book online at http://www.awardonline.com/#/Shop.
