The One Show, along with One Show Design and One Show Interactive recognises the year's best creative advertising, design and interactive achievements worldwide. The international jury for the One Show will select winners of the coveted Gold, Silver and Bronze Pencils.

Winners will be announced at the One Show awards presentation ceremony on 10 May 2012 at Alice Tully Hall at Lincoln Centre in New York City.
