The Drum is aiming to identify the best freelance talent across the UK. But to do so, we need your help and experience.

Freelancers are a vital resource for the creative industries – a resource agencies tap into when they need a fresh approach, more creative muscle or even just a job done that the in-house skill set doesn't meet. Yet freelancers get little recognition for their important role.

We want to change that.

We want you to nominate the best creative freelancers that you have worked with recently and in the past – from copywriters to photographers and from illustration to production. All sectors are welcome.

All you need to do is fill in a very quick online survey to recommend the best, and often most vital, talent around the UK.

Those nominated will then be narrowed down to compile a cross-section of the very best freelancers available to the industry.
