Here you can see some of the “action” from Day 1 of the Young Guns International awards judging which turned up 2 or 3 Golds and a handful of Silvers from a ruthless afternoon session that saw the possibles whittled down to a much shorter list.  Tomorrow we’ll all see the best of TV, digital and Integrated. Sure to be fun.  Good bunch of judges and no one’s lost their perspective or sense of humour yet.  Bound to come later though.</p>http://craigdavis.tumblr.com/post/61148087http://craigdavis.tumblr.com/post/61148087Sun, 23 Nov 2008 11:12:00 +0000young guns awardscraig davis<img src="http://3.media.tumblr.com/C6D3AnWW5glq9ikjwYecgjWzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Search for Young Guns trophy on Flickr and this what you’ll find, very cool.
