The support the EDA gives UK charities is paramount to Libby and she continually endeavours to discover category opportunities to challenge students and aid the chosen organisation.
Paul Vokaty
Paul Vokaty is the Technical Director at Entyce. What Paul doesn’t know about coding really isn’t worth knowing!
Although Paul is definitely more of a ‘techi’ than a creative he certainly knows great design when he sees it.
As one of our categories focuses on web design, you should ensure you impress Paul with your designs.
Kathryn Jenkinson
Kathryn Jenkinson is Entyce’s fabulously talented copywriter.
Kathryn will be keeping her beady eye out for strong supporting copy throughout your work. Make sure you spell check everything! It’s a shame to let a good design down with a spelling or grammatical error. Kathryn will be looking out for clever strap-lines, so use your imagination to develop designs that go one step further.
The judges are keen to see your creative thinking and to discover the research and thought process that lead to your finished design. Attention to detail is a must so make sure your submissions are proof read to avoid spelling mistakes and typos.

The Awards represent a great opportunity for Access Sport, with gaining bespoke fresh ideas for the charity's website and branding. This is a unique opportunity for the charity, who otherwise would be unable to fund such creative input.
