ADC Young Guns 12 Winners Announced

More than 30 winners to be honored at ADC Gallery next week

The votes have been counted, the trophies have been polished, and the tickets for next week’s extravaganza have been selling like proverbial hotcakes. And now, at long last, ADC is proud to announce the 31 winners of ADC Young Guns 12.

The ADC Young Guns competition — in case you haven’t been paying attention for the past decade and then some — is the premier creative competition for professionals 30 years of age and younger. Over the years, ADC Young Guns has brought out the best in a variety of creative fields, and has given a boost to the early careers of such visionaries as Stefan Sagmeister, Jessica Walsh, James Victore and Kate Moross.

“We’re incredibly excited to finally reveal this year’s class,” says Brendan Watson, ADC’s Director of Education and manager of the Young Guns program. “YG12 might be the most creatively diverse class to date. We’ve got animators, architects, designers, directors, illustrators, motion designers, typographers, art directors, creative technologists, illustrators, photographers and even a graffiti artist. It just goes to show the breadth of creativity ADC supports.”
