Meet the 28 Young Guns 17 winners

A jury of more than 60 creatives – half of them past Young Guns winners themselves – spent two months reviewing hundreds of submissions from a record 45 different countries.
After several rounds of judging – which narrowed down the vast pool of talent to a finalist list of 81 creatives – the jury debated, discussed and ultimately selected 28 young creatives to be part of Young Guns 17.
This year's class runs across a wide variety of disciplines, and with only three YG17 winners being American-born, the global nature of this accolade is becoming even greater.
The winners of Young Guns 17 are set to be honoured on 20 November 2019 in New York City – where they will receive this year's version of the coveted Young Guns Cube, created by Barcelona based designer and Young Guns 7 winner Verònica Fuerte and Hey Studio.
