YOUNG ONES IS ON HIATUS...

WE'LL RETURN IN FALL 2026. UNTIL THEN, CHECK OUT OUR SUMMER BRIEF COMPETITION OR VIEW THE 2026 WINNERS. 

For over 30 years, The One Club for Creativity's student competitions have been decorating the resumes and portfolios of talented advertising and design students. In 2026, Young Ones is home to the One Show, Art Directors Club, and the Type Directors Club Student Competitions, plus a unique Portfolio Competition. Between all four shows, there is an opportunity to celebrate up-and-coming creatives in almost any discipline imaginable.

As a global creative competition, Young Ones challenges students to put their best foot forward in hopes of winning one of the first honors in their professional journey. And, as a creative community, The One Club for Creativity exists to support and celebrate those same artists, designers, writers, technologists, and filmmakers through today, tomorrow, and beyond. For countless creatives worldwide, winning a One Show Pencil or ADC Cube is a dream come true, but those dreams have to start somewhere...
