Imagination Creative Director selected for D&AD Awards jury

Jiri Bures, Creative Director at Imagination's London headquarters, has been selected to judge at next year’s D&AD Awards.

Jiri, who has over 13 years experience in multi-channel brand communications, will be part of a jury of nine judges selected from the design industry to consider work from the Digital Design category.

Judges for the Digital Design category will be looking for highly original and inspiring digital ideas that have been exceptionally well executed and that are relevant to their particular context.

After an online round of preliminary judging, Jiri will join 250 of the world’s leading creatives to judge the work over five days.

The awards, which celebrate and nurture outstanding work in the design and advertising industry, cover 14 different disciplines including advertising, illustration, photography and writing.

Last year the D&AD awards received entries from 64 countries, with all proceeds used to fund international education programmes, supporting and developing the future generations of creative talent.

Jiri provides creative leadership for Imagination's digital offering, covering digital communications, experiential and film for clients including Samsung, Shell, Royal Opera House, Swire Properties, Canon, BBC, Jaguar and Land Rover.

His recent work includes a British Interactive Media Association (BIMA) Award winning augmented reality interactive for Shell and a 3D digital way-finding installation for luxury shopping mall Pacific Place in Hong Kong.

Entries for the competition began in November 2011 with a deadline of February 2012. The results will be announced during the week beginning 23 April 2012.
