After welcome drinks in Toynbee Hall's main rooms, we moved through to the dramatic theatre space where Pentagram partner Astrid Stavro, Scriberia co-founder Chris Wilson and emerging illustrator Joey Yu presented our certificates of commendation, to the lifting backdrop of our live jazz trio.

To conclude the ceremony, Astrid presented Amelia Cherrill, a graduate from Norwich University of the Arts, with our Student of the Year award — handing her a YCN concrete bar in recognition of an excellent, colourful and paper driven campaign for Dalston's Cola.

From there we returned to the Hall for food, drinks and conversations against a backdrop exhibition of all the Commended work. A huge congratulations to all those commended, and a big thanks again to our most recent partners for setting such a contemporary and challenging collection of live creative briefs.

The coming programme for 2019/20 will launch at the end of October. Please get in touch if you'd like to include a live creative, marketing or business challenge relating to your organisation.

Thanks too to Rob Parfitt and Sam Bush for the photographs below.
