DMA Breakthrough Award

The DMA Breakthrough Award runs in partnership with the DMA Awards, giving aspiring creatives the opportunity to work on a creative brief set by a well-known brand.

As well as the prestige of winning an industry recognised award, 1st place receives £1,000, 2nd £500 and 3rd £250.

The DMA Breakthrough Award gives students, interns, and non-professionals the opportunity to:

• Add real client work to their portfolios
• Experience what it's like to work on a real-life client brief
• Get feedback and advice from industry experts and creative directors on their work
• Win a major marketing industry award

All the entries will be judged by a panel of industry experts, and 3 finalist teams are selected and invited to pitch their ideas to the client and a panel of industry experts at a central London location in early December.

After their pitches, the finalists head to the DMA Awards to soak up the finest creative work from the past year, and find out if they’ve achieved Gold, Silver or Bronze.
