Young Guns
Young Guns is a portfolio competition awarding creative professionals 30 years and under, including designers, illustrators, entrepreneurs, and more!
2017: Now under the umbrella of The One Club for Creativity, Young Guns 15 returned the competition to an open entry process, encouraging young creatives from a broad range of disciplines to apply. By seeking out talent from beyond the design and advertising worlds, Young Guns 15 received a record number of entries from more than 40 countries.
The YG15 Jury was made up of nearly 50 acclaimed creatives, equally balanced between men and women, and with just over half of them past Young Guns winners themselves. After nearly two months of careful deliberation, the jury selected 84 entrants for a finalist list — the first time in Young Guns history that the finalists were publicly revealed. The final round of judging resulted in 32 new Young Guns, who were awarded a colorful translucent Cube designed by YG9 winner Roanne Adams and RoAndCo.

Jalan + Jibril Durimel
Visual Artists
Based In: Los Angeles, CA
Originally from: Paris, France

Born in Paris to parents from Guadeloupe, Jalan and Jibril Durimel moved to Miami when they were four years old, where they first immersed themselves in American culture. At 12 years old, they moved to the Caribbean island of St.Maarten, where they were separated from their mother.. Although St. Maarten was a culturally shocking environment that was very different to their lives in Miami, it was here where they first became interested in cinema as teenagers. This lead them back to the US to study film in Los Angeles.
Jalan and Jibril's interest in photography and cinema is rooted in a passion for shedding light on life’s unseen, romantic and graceful moments, and in the desire to use their skill to tell the stories of the intersected stories that exist in the world. As they’ve began to travel more frequently, global familiarisation of nations and mind expansion have become leading ideas for them to explore. As these ideas have began to excite them more and more, they've decided to stop taking fashion-focused commissions to prepare a body of their own photo work while also preparing to start an awareness foundation, exploring new ways to help humanity further familiarize itself with experimental mind expansion exercises. Through diversified artistic platforms they hope to facilitate people's knowledge of themselves and healthy foreign traditions.
