Update: D&AD Professional Awards 2013: final call deadline extended
If you're a creative pro and fancy getting your mitts on a Yellow Pencil, you still have time - the deadline for entries has now been extended to Wednesday 6 February. But there's a catch - a 20% surcharge on work completed after today's original deadline.
To remind you to enter D&AD has kicked off a tongue-in-cheek advertising campaign 'Win One, Die Happy', which shows previous Yellow Pencil winners dicing with death in an entertaining series of posters. You can see just a few of them in the gallery below.
The posters are matched by an equally cheeky video, which shows D&AD deputy president Laura Jordan Bambach and others enjoying a pint in the pub while an Apocalyptic event takes place outside.
