YoungGuns celebrates 10 years

To mark its 10th birthday, YoungGuns will be releasing a number of Top 10 rankings on a specially designed website www.ygaward.com/10years that celebrates the young talent and incubator organisations that have nurtured those creative aspirations across its first 10 years.

8 Jul 2010

Some of the rankings are just straightforward, one to ten and others will be decided by public vote and will be released on pre-determined dates across the next few months.

Vote for YoungGun of Decade

The first ranking released is the YoungGun of the Decade and users are asked to vote to decide on the winner, who will receive a special YoungGuns Bullet and prize. Users can vote once per day and you will be able to see the leader every day. So support your country, your friends, your agency and good ideas by voting.
