Next Generation Talent is back for 2009

Hola everyone!

We’re knee-deep in a few amazing campaigns at the moment (which explains the absence), including this little gem: Next Generation Talent.

If it sounds familiar that’s probably because we kicked off the 2008 inaugural competition back in November.

(If you need a refresher, NGT is an initiative by Panasonic to foster more interest in the creative industries.  The programme offers students a chance to win an ad spot on national television, a two-week work experience placement with one of Panasonic’s creative agencies and a full portfolio review for creating a sample video ad for the Panasonic Viera home hub television.)

This year, though, it’s bigger and better than ever. Panasonic and Young Creative Network have just wrapped up a tour around the UK with 10 partner Universities to get more students involved, we’ve created a fun video, as well as released a bit of research on student career aspirations concerning the creative industries.

If you know any Univeristy students, who would like to get involved, give us a ping on Twitter @nextgentalent.  We’d be happy to help.

And of course, don’t forget to pass on our pride and joy:
