The Crowbar Awards highlights the best emerging talent in creative communications and design in this region. There are 6 categories – advertising, design, interactive, photography, film and the Crowbar Challenge. The results were announced and awards presented on 28 August 2009.

NTU came in 3rd in the Top 10 school ranking after Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and LASALLE College of the Arts. Not bad.

The detailed winner list can be found here: http://www.4as.org.sg/pdf/Crowbar%20Awards%202009%20Results.pdf

A number of winning posters are now exhibiting at ACRC from 11 November 2009 to 2 December 2009.
