ADC Young Guns 10

The Art Directors Club, the premier organization for integrated media and the first global creative collective of its kind, announces the launch of the ADC Young Guns 10 competition for creative professionals age 30 or younger.

ADC Young Guns is the industry’s only international, cross-disciplinary, portfolio-based awards competition that identifies today’s vanguard of young creatives, and is open to both ADC members and nonmembers.  Last year’s competition drew entries from 43 countries, with 41% of entries coming from outside the U.S. (this year’s call for entries will be available in English, Chinese, Korean, Italian, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish).  A total of 50 winners are selected each year by a jury of past ADC Young Guns.

The program is open internationally to creatives age 30 and under who have been working for at least two years, full-time or freelance.  Eligible entrants can submit a combination of professional and personal work in graphic design, photography, illustration, advertising, art direction, environmental design, film, animation, motion graphics, interactive design, typography, architecture, copywriting, product design, package design, fashion design, furniture design, interior design, sound design and industrial design.
