NEW YORK, USA — The One Show 2022 and ADC 101st Annual Awards are both in the history books, and for some, that means it’s time to bask in the glory of their wins. But for a certain type of creative — young, hungry, entrepreneurial — now it’s time for the real competition to begin, and we couldn’t be more pumped.
The One Club for Creativity is thrilled to announce that Young Guns 20 is officially open for entries! Founded in 1996 as a showcase of emerging creative talent, this portfolio-based competition for creative professionals has grown to become one of the most coveted accolades in the global creative community. It’s easy to see why: it’s very, very difficult to win, and you have to do it before your 31st birthday.
Oh, but if you do win? Then you join the eclectic ranks of creative superstars like James Victore, Jessica Walsh, Timothy Goodman, Olimpia Zagnoli, Menno Kluin, CALMATIC, Dana Tanamachi, Christoph Neimann, Ohni Lisle, Kerby Jean-Raymond, Mah Ferraz, AV Rockwell, Tré Seals, and so many others. Top Gun: Maverick, the #1 movie in most of the world right now? The director, Joseph Kosinski, is a YG4 winner.
So yeah, it’s kind of a big deal. And if you’re 30 or younger with at least two years of professional experience and a portfolio full of awesomeness in anything from advertising, graphic design, illustration, photography, filmmaking, animation, and beyond, winning YG20 will be kind of a big deal too.
