Background

Since 2001, The YCN Student Awards annualy shine a light on emerging creative excellence; and run closely alongside the many Universities, Colleges and Art & Design Schools across the UK, and Europe. The awards are based around a collection of live creative briefs; written each year by partnering brands, charities and other organisations. This year the YCN Student Awards set creative and challenging design briefs working in collaboration with such international companies as Google, Heinz, The Co-operative, Fedrigoni, Marks and Spencer, SEGA, and The Feel Good Drinks Company. 

Judges identified the entries that they thought had most outstandingly responded to the briefs. Commended entrants will be awarded at the YCN Student Awards Ceremony at Shoreditch Town Hall in London in early September for a colourful evening of celebration; and all of the award winning work will be showcased in the pages of the YCN Student Annual. 10,000 copies of the Annual will be distributed across education, and across the creative industries. 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.
