Description
Summary:Burgoyne discusses that as coronavirus wreaks havoc on this year's creative awards shows, D&AD CEO Burgoyne reflects on why judging still matters. Normally at this time of year, awards bodies are bringing together judges from all over the world to sit down and decide on this year's pencils, lions, arrows, cubes and assorted other amusingly shaped trophies.
