Having this (or another) kind of recognition of your work can be a nice, motivating thing.But as our world becomes more and more digital and faster it seems that there are a few things missing here and there. </p> Hi Mark, sure you don’t need the D&AD, to tell you you’re doing a great job – but having an award is in most fields something special and makes you feel good ;).

Having two nominees and no winner - wow. But i think they have some problems in general to find someone for an award. Categorie “Websites” also didn´t had a award-winner and only one(!) nomination. <br /> Just imagine the Oscars without any winner...lol. </p> Looking at the D&AD awards it really is an interesting development.

Winning awards should be way down way down the list, and as you said in the artice solving problems for your clients is most important. </p> I think it’s great that the mentality when it comes awards is not the 1# agenda on there list anymore.

It would interesting to see how much traffic these sites get – I think this is the ultimate test for a website. Does it get traffic – does it convert leads – does it make money.
