  • NEW YORK
  • --

The One Club for Creativity has unveiled the 94 finalists from 27 countries for the Young Guns 19 competition, celebrating international creative professionals age 30 or younger.

This year’s winners will be announced online on October 27, 2021, and celebrated at a special in-person event on November 17, 2021 at Sony Hall in New York.

Young Guns is the industry’s only global, cross-disciplinary, portfolio-based awards competition that identifies and celebrates today’s vanguard of young creatives.  This year’s entries were judged by a diverse jury of 88 top creatives--nearly half of whom are past YG winners--from 38 countries.

All Young Guns winners will receive a unique version of the iconic Young Guns Cube, designed exclusively for this year’s incoming class, and have their permanent profile page added to the Young Guns website.  Winners also receive a complimentary one-year One Club for Creativity membership, permanent membership in the Young Guns network, a chance to be featured in Young Guns events and an assortment of career-boosting opportunities from Young Guns sponsors.
