The

YCN Student Awards

annualy shine a light on emerging creative excellence; and run closely alongside leading Universities, Colleges and Art & Design schools internationally. The awards are based around a collection of live creative briefs; written each year by partnering organisations.

The Awards enable all those that take part to benefit from engaging with thoroughly contemporary communication challenges, and give increased confidence, visibility and employability to all those that excel within them.

Work submitted in response to each brief is closely examined by the brands and organisations that wrote it, often alongside the agencies with whom they work. They are asked to draw up a shortlist of the submissions felt to be the most outstanding from all those received in response to their brief. There are no first, second or third place style nominations, if you have been Commended this means your work has been chosen as one of the most outstanding entries to that particular brief and you will be Commended alongside a selected number of other entries for your brief.
