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.

Named after James Brown's funky saxophone player, Maceo grew up in Stockholm, Sweden with his street-dance legend father and Skateboard-rebel mother. Underground culture is practically embedded in his DNA. He found filmmaking at 11 and grew up being one of those kids that never had to wonder what to do in life. He plays drums in a jazz-trio and believes rhythm is the secret to everything. Today he travels the world directing films and loves making people share their deepest secrets with the camera.
