ADC Young Guns 6 - Call for Entries



ADC Young Guns exists to identify the vanguard of creative professionals who let loose their imaginations, shattering conventions and breaking boundaries with a dash of brilliance and personal flair. Those of you who’ve set your minds to making a name for yourself, raising new standards from within cubicles, conference rooms, cramped apartments, and studios across the world—this is your chance to put those battle cries in action. If you’re under the age of thirty and have two years of the working life under your belt, we’d like you to show us what it’s all about.

On a quest to identify the brightest young professionals across myriad creative disciplines, ADC Young Guns has become more than just a competition—it now comprises a community network of rebels and prodigies, unsung heroes and rising stars. Over the years, our roster has grown to include five classes of exceptional talent, among them Stefan Sagmeister (YG1), Rei Inamoto (YG4), James Victore (YG1), Ryan McGinness (YG2), Floto+Warner (YG5), Alexander Gelman (YG1), Deanne Cheuk (YG4), Todd St. John (YG1), Scott Stowell (YG3), and Mike Mills (YG1).

Ready to join the ranks of ADC Young Guns? Answer the call. Entries are being accepted April 3–June 2; honorees will be notified in August. Full details here.

GOOD LUCK!

The fee makes the whole thing sound pathetic.

ha! non profit organizations have to stay alive somehow and most use competitions to do so.

ya, we're in an age where everyone thinks everything should be FREE... and it's not a good thing.

good point!

I didn't mean it should be free. I just wish the fee wasn't like 125 dollars. Damn it...

Extrabold,
please know that just about any competition these days, whether it be for magazines or non-for-profit orgs, the submission fee will probably range from $75 to $200.

Think about it from another direction, think about the items the winner receives. An exhibition displaying your work, a book displaying your work. Potential clients very familiar to the ADC worldwide have direct access to you. That submission fee could come back to you see easily. It has for us.
