PADC Diamond Skulls finalists announced
The PADC Members have spoken and selected the Finalists for the first-ever Diamond Skulls to be presented at Emergence’s Big Bang Breakfast at the incredible White Elephant Cafe on Gnarabup Beach on March 9.
The three finalists in each category will receive a complimentary Conference Pass (valued at $550 each) to Emergence Creative Festival.
Voting was incredibly close with only one vote separating the field in nearly every category.
The Finalists’ work will now be forwarded to the specialist juries made up of national and international creative leaders. From these category winners our Diamond Skulls Patron, Matt Eastwood, will be choosing the first winner of The Ultimate Diamond Skull.
Links to the Finalists’ work will be published on DiamondSkulls.com shortly.

Congrats to all the finalists, but its pretty obvious how this works particularly in the AD CW and designer categories.if you’re from a big agency with lots of PADC members then of course you’re going to get more votes.
Will there be some kind of prediction/tipping competition?
No comments at all CB?
Not even about the Copywriter finalists?
I’ll say it then……seriously, Craig? Apparently one swallow does make a summer.
It’s more like an eagle than a swallow.
If you’ve created one the best ads out of Perth I think you’re entitled to be in the running and favourite for this award.
Exactly @interested, created ……it’s not brilliantly written , it was created by two AD’s.
