Winning a Loeries Young Creatives Award kick-starts great things

For young creatives, the glory of winning the Loeries 2010 Young Creatives Award, at the start of their careers, is just the very beginning. The race is now on to find this year’s most talented duo.

Entrants have until 30th June to submit their portfolio.

The Young Creatives Award recognises outstanding achievement of individuals under the age of 27 working in any area of brand communication – Advertising, Communication Design or Experiential Media. Entrants submit a portfolio of their work and the winners receive a Gold Loerie, as well as an all-expenses paid trip to an international award show of their choice.

Past Young Creatives Award winners have found that the overseas trip broadened their horizons and expanded their professional knowledge base. However, the recognition and respect that the award earned them closer to home proved to be the real benefit of winning.

Last year, the Young Creatives Award was received by Sanjiv Mistry, copywriter at Ogilvy Cape Town and Joanne van der Linde, art director at Net#work BBDO. They both chose to go to the One Show in New York City.

Entry for the Young Creatives Award is free. All entrants must submit a portfolio of work from the last three years by 30 June 2010. The full entry requirements and eligibility criteria are available on the Loeries website (www.theloerieawards.co.za).

The entry deadline for The Loerie Awards has now been extended until 14 June, with a special extension until 13 July for World Cup related communications. For more information, visit www.theloerieawards.co.za.

Camilla Grobler is a Durban girl.

She studied a three-year diploma in Graphic Design at Durban University of Technology, then went on to work at Durban advertising agency Modern Museum, where she has been for almost two years.

Camilla loves all things GIRL, so in her spare time you will find her baking cakes, decorating, collecting, embellishing, shopping, or drawing! She is obsessed with pattern, detail, and texture in her work. This is why Camilla finds herself using pencil most of the time, enabling her to explore softness and hardness of texture and stroke.

Life is Awesome hails from the far land of Stellenbosch.  Between majestic mountains, a shady patch of moss birthed a graphic design collaboration some time ago.

Life is Awesome has been around since  Attila the Hun died of a nose bleed (caused by eating too much Danish blue cheese). You can even spot us in the backgrounds of some classical paintings pulling gangster poses. In other words, we have been around for ever.

Breathing life into design and corporate companies is our particular speciality.  We offer services extending from very convincing corporate ids to sleek websites and outstanding print design. We also happen to make some serious sandwiches and potent coffee. And you’re always invited.

This bio was written by Brad and Leigh from We Caaan – it is a bit long, but was too beautiful for me to edit or try and re-write, it tells a lovely story:

Leigh and Brad are lovers. Lovers of non-extreme adventure. Lovers of drawing and writing. And lovers of So You Think You Can Dance, pizza and a warm bed.

Leigh and Brad have spent most of their lives giving ideas to corporations, so that said corporations can take more of your money. And unfortunately they are pretty good at it. If you eat, you’ve eaten in one of the restaurants that Leigh has designed and if you see you’ve seen one of Brad’s ads. That’s just the way it was, but that same gnawing dissatisfaction that they deviously played on to make you buy said corporations’ products was alive and kicking within them. And it was asking questions…is this it? Is this me? Is that building high enough? You know, the usual.

Fortunately, a series of bizarre circumstances brought the two of them together.  Once they got the falling madly in love bit out of the way, they were able to share in other’s dissatisfaction and familiar feelings of worthlessness. It was beautiful. They really wanted to do something together that was fit for other people to see and explored a few ideas, most of them involving learning a new skill.  “We can’t,” their little voices said, followed by a million excuses. The restless dissatisfaction grew and the blank page got bigger. In desperation Leigh started drawing and Brad started writing – two things they knew how to do. They put the two together and realised that, “We can.”

Wecaaan.com is not a blog about cool things we have found on the web or treasures discovered in junk shops, our friends do that a lot better than we ever could. It is a blog about the cool things we have found out about ourselves and the treasures we have discovered in each other.

Alistair Palmer was born in Hermanus and lives in Cape Town.  He takes inspiration from the world around him and enjoys the little things in life. He surfs, rides bicycles, and enjoys working with power tools and wood. Alistair likes beer and card games, camping, making coffee, organising things and collecting junk. Makes for a good creative foundation.

Constantly playing with colour and texture, Alistair’s work exists in both design and art, the line between the two becoming somewhat blurry. He likes this, because it means one idea can live many lives beyond the screen.
