Brisbane announces top AWARD School graduates at a ceremony at the Winn Lane

Jessamy Ross has been announced AWARD School Brisbane’s leading graduate in a ceremony held on Thursday night at the Winn Lane.

Second place went to both Tom Kimmorley and Ashleigh Kennedy, who were scored equally.

More than 70 creatives and industry supporters attended the event, which showcased the best pieces of work from the 2014 class of 13.

AWARD School Brisbane heads, Sarah Chernishov and Kirsten Twigg praised their students for their work and general good nature.

Says Twigg: “Not only were the students very talented, they also genuinely supported each other throughout the 12 week course. A truly lovely group.”

The AWARD School program has now been running for more than 30 years; the 2014 graduates follow in the footsteps of many of today’s creative leaders, including past students: Craig Davis, ex-chairman of AWARD and co-chairman & chief creative officer of Publicis Mojo, David Droga, founder and creative chairman of Droga5, and Matt Eastwood, chief creative officer at DDB New York.
