ADC Young Guns 6 Call for Entries

The ADC Young Guns competition awards the most exciting young talent in visual communications. If you are age 30 or under and working in graphic design, illustration, photography, film and video, packaging and environmental design, experimental fashion, interactive media, and/or advertising and publishing, you are eligible to enter.

Fifty new Young Guns will be chosen as this year’s competition class; they will be announced in September 2008 and presented with the ADC Cube at the opening party for the gallery exhibition of their work. Selections of their work will be printed in a commemorative, limited edition volume published exclusively for the Art Directors Club by Moleskine®. The ADC Young Guns 6 class will also have their work added to the ADC’s permanent collection online and receive one-year membership in the organization.

Submissions need not conform to any specific media categories; entries may consist of one medium or as many as the contestant chooses to include. Contestants are asked to submit 6–10 pieces, up to 3 of which can be personal work, and will be judged on the basis of this body of work.

Eligibility requires only that the contestant is under 30 years of age and has at least two years of professional experience (both full-time and freelance work qualify). The competition is open internationally. The entry fee is $125 USD; proceeds help fund the ADC’s wide-ranging programs throughout the year. The deadline for submissions is June 2, 2008, and late entries will be assessed an additional $25 fee.
