After announcing this year's winners a few days ago, D&AD revealed what type of pencil-shaped awards those winners have received during its award ceremony last night in London.
Australia's Host/Havas won a Black Pencil (one of three awarded) for the 'The Palau pledge', an initiative that made visitors sign a promise, right in their passport, to help protect the island nation's environment.
The other Black Pencils went to 'It’s a Tide Ad' by Saatchi & Saatchi New York for Procter & Gamble and 'Fearless Girl' by McCann New York for State Street Global Advisors.
APAC agencies brought home 10 Yellow Pencils, which are detailed below, along with all the APAC-based winners. (The table is sorted by the pencil type and then by country, and you can scroll horizontally by dragging the table.)
