PADC President Andrew Tinning needs your help with phase two of the campaign. He wants photos of yourselves as nippers and as many examples of your early signs of creativity as possible.

“We’re talking old drawings, poems, songs and stories,” said Tinning. “If you don’t have them at hand then give your Mum a call. She’d love to hear from you and she’d be more than happy to spend some valuable family time digging through the archives together. Hell you might even get a roast dinner out of it! When you’ve got the goodies please upload them to our facebook page at  as soon as possible and all will then be revealed.”

In an attempt to weed out any scam all work entered must be backed by a legitimate media schedule and be entered as it ran. Viral, social marketing and social media must be for a legitimate purpose.

The PADC has also re-defined the craft award criteria this year. To be eligible for awards such as photographer of the year, director of the year the relevant craft must be your primary source of income.
