Identifying and awarding emerging creative practitioners excelling professionally in specific disciplines
In 2009 the longstanding YCN Student Awards were extended into the professional realm with the launch of the new A award. Through a process of industry consultation and nomination; emerging creative practitioners in specific disciplines are surprised with a physical A; crafted by a different designer in each instance. The first A awards (designed by Ah and made from recycled Christmas Trees by Fabien Cappello) were awarded for illustration. See the recipients here.
Details of the next A awards, and the discipline for which they will be awarded will be published shortly.
A is by Åh and Fabien Cappello
