Home » The Competition » Rules RULES ENTRIES FOR ADC YOUNG GUNS 8 ARE CLOSED. WINNERS WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA EMAIL BY JULY 19, 2010. CALL FOR ENTRIES FOR ADC YOUNG GUNS 9 OPENS SPRING 2011. WHO CAN ENTER? Entrants must be professionals working in the field(s) of graphic design, photography, illustration, advertising and art direction, environmental design, film, animation & video, interactive design, architecture, copywriting, object design and typography. If your work does not fit within any of these categories, this does not necessarily mean that it isn't eligible - email info@adcyoungguns.org to make sure. Entrants must be 30 years of age or younger when the entry site opens each year, and must have been working professionally for at least 2 years (both full-time and freelance work qualify). We will require a proof of age in the form of a Passport, State ID or drivers license from all entrants. If you are a student with two years of the working life under your belt, you are also eligible to enter. Previous ADC Young Guns entrants ARE eligible to enter, but past ADC Young Guns winners are NOT eligible to enter subsequent cycles of the competition. ADC Young Guns is an international competition open to all who qualify. SUBMIT: 6-10 pieces of professional and personal work. A maximum of half of your pieces submitted can be personal work. The rest must be professional, published work. Unpublished and client-rejected spec work counts as personal work. Work entered does not need to have been created in a particular year - entries will be judged as a portfolio of work. Choose wisely: pick projects that showcase the full range of your skills. Submissions need not conform to any specific media categories. Your submitted portfolio may feature work in one medium or several. Special promotions for early entrants of ADC Young Guns 8: The first 80 people to enter will receive a complimentary copy of the ADC Young Guns 7 Annual. Lucky entrant #8 will have his or her entry fee reimbursed by ADC. Luckier entrant #80 will receive the full collection of ADC Young Guns Annuals (classes 3-7). Luckiest entrant #88 will receive a gift certificate from Ace Hotel, valid at any of its locations in New York, Palm Springs, Portland and Seattle. Dubbed "the country's most original new hotel" by The New York Times, Ace Hotel's vintage-mod aesthetic caters to the urban nomad on a mission for experience. ENTRY FEE: $135 USD. All entries must be submitted by May 12, 2010. Ready to prepare your portfolio? Review the Entry Instructions first. Questions? Please contact info@adcyoungguns.org.
