We have confirmed the first intake of 13 people for WK Platform, our creative school / experiment / thing. That's them above. They'll start with us 09.09.09. Congratulations to the successful candidates and commiserations to those who didn't make it. If you would have liked to apply but missed it this time, there will be another opportunity and another round of selections soon.
Sorry to do this but Finland is a little bit to the right - that's Sweden!

You're right. How embarrasing. We go there often enough! I'll change it.

Can we see their entries?

Porter - this looks to me like a pretty diverse group, culturally and ethnically. What's your point?

This is what i call selective diversity. Where are the black faces? Asians whites, and one hispanic for good measure.
Didn't dan wieden say
“[The issue of diversity] continues to gnaw at me because, like it or not, in this business I essentially hire a bunch of White, middle-class kids, pay them enormous, enormous sums of money to do what? To create messages to the inner-city kids who create the culture the White kids are trying like hell to emulate. But if you go into the inner city, odds are these kids aren’t even going to see advertising as a possibility, as an opportunity for them.
Keep lying to yourselves.

'Selective diversity'? Now there's a revealing oxymoron.
What I want to know is - how come no dwarves on this list?! And, furthermore, how come no black lesbian single parent dwarves??!!!! I hope that gnaws at you, Wieden.
