'Established in 2001, YCN is a curated, creative network. We help creatively minded people and organisations to make relevant new connections, to learn and to do.'
Members of YCN range from professional designers and artists to students. They help agencies, publishers and brands around the world to connect with and commission their Members for various projects and purposes.
The YCN Student Awards uniquely shine a light on emerging creative excellence. The programme runs closely alongside leading Universities, Colleges and Art & Design Schools around the world.
The YCN Student Awards are based around a collection of live creative briefs, written each year by diverse partnering organisations — united in the value they place on creativity.
How work is judged:
Work submitted in response to each brief is closely examined by a team from the organisation 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. The originators of these submissions are awarded with a Commendation. 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.
Student Awards Ceremony and YCN Student Annual:
The Annual YCN Student Awards ceremony will see all those Commended colourfully honoured in a prestigious setting. Recent venues have included Shoreditch Town Hall and the Barbican Centre. The YCN Student Annual will showcase all work Commended as part of the programme.

Additionally, those to have graduated from any such institution within 12 months is welcome to enter — as long as they are not working full time in a creative role.

Further use of work:

YCN will encourage full communication between parties and assist in discussion at all stages.
