Meet the men that judged the winners in the Fair Go Student Ad
Awards for 2009.
Pete Force
Australian born Pete Force was imported by Saatchi & Saatchi to
New Zealand over 15 years ago. After winning numerous national and
international advertising awards he now works as a senior freelance
creative for some of the country's largest ad agencies and brands.
Pete also writes short and feature films. In 2005 a script he wrote
about a wayward chihuahua was chosen by Peter Jackson as a 48 hour
wildcard finalist. This year, Aphrodite's Farm, a short he co-wrote
won a Crystal Bear at the Berlin Film Festival and earned him a
Qantas Film Award nomination. He was also a semi-finalist at the
prestigious US based Scriptapalooza screenwriting competition
beating out over 4000 other international entries.

Glenn Wood
Glenn has been writing professionally for just over 18 years.
During that time he has been employed as a copywriter by some of
the country's leading advertising agencies and won numerous
national and international awards. He is the author of two books
covering his "disastrous" career in the NZ Police. For the past few
years he says he has been "foolishly attempting to write and sell
screenplays. I am currently not rich or famous."
