Young Guns
Young Guns is a portfolio competition awarding creative professionals 30 years and under, including designers, illustrators, entrepreneurs, and more!
2016: In a bold departure from recent years, Young Guns 14 returned the award to its roots. The awards eschewed a call for entries in favor of a nomination process where esteemed cultural influencers would choose cutting-edge creatives, who would then be selected by a panel of judges made up of industry heavyweights and previous Young Guns winners. The end result? A class of 30 winners representing eight different countries and an eclectic array of discipline
The Cube, which was unveiled at the September 17, 2016 ceremony, was created by luxury audio brand Master & Dynamic, under the guidance of designer and YG8 winner Nicole Jacek.

Martin Stirling
After a string of playful and provocative viral hits, Martin Stirling has been hailed as "one of the internet's most watched directors". A maverick storyteller his work is often subversive, visually inventive and emotionally compelling. His film for Save The Children, Most Shocking Second a Day Video exploded online with over 25 million views in the first 5 days and won a Cannes Gold Lion. He followed this with the LEGO: Everything Is Not Awesome attack ad, criticizing LEGO's partnership with Shell. The video made history and global news after LEGO ended it's 50 year relationship with the oil company. Stirling is an alumni member and associate artist of the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain and has written and directed plays on London's West End. His work as an artist has been exhibited in MoMA, Detroit, Los Angeles and London. He has also written a series of short books for children which are currently unpublished.
