2022 Next Creative Leaders
ABOUT NEXT CREATIVE LEADERS
Developed collaboratively by The One Club for Creativity and The 3% Movement, Next Creative Leaders is a portfolio competition that identifies, celebrates, and gives a global platform to talented women and non-binary creatives who are making their mark on the world with both their work and a unique point of view on creative leadership.
DEADLINES & DATES
Deadline: August 26, 2022
Extended Deadline: September 9, 2022
WHO CAN ENTER
Talented women and non-binary creatives who are stepping into leadership roles: Copywriters, Art Directors, Designers, ACDs, newly-promoted Creative Directors and Design Directors (read: less than a year with that title) and creative teams who are doing game-changing work and helping change our industry for the better.
EQUITABLE ACCESS
We’re working hard to break down any and all barriers to talented women and non-binary creatives seeing the spotlight. We believe so fiercely in the importance of gender diversity that we’re waiving the application fee for this competition.
WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Talented women and non-binary creatives who are stepping into leadership roles: Copywriters, Art Directors, Designers, ACDs, newly-promoted Creative Directors and Design Directors (read: less than a year with that title) and creative teams who are doing game changing work and helping change our industry for the better.
A FEW RULES
No Boys Allowed
Our industry has plenty of talented male leaders, but this award is for underrepresented creatives who are actively challenging the status quo.
No Executives
Creatives with the “Big E” before their CD titles have already proven themselves as leaders. They probably have shining reports to send us, though!
No Double-Dipping
Previous winners are asked to leave this round—and the glory—to a new generation of kick-ass creatives.
No School Work
Next Creative Leaders are on the seasoned side. Know a talented woman or non-binary creative who still has spec work in their book? We welcome their application…in a few years.
WHAT WE WANT TO SEE
Creativity
4-6 pieces of badass creative work that you helped shape or lead. Work you’re proud of. Work that’s changing the game and maybe the world.
POV
Did you push for diverse casting? Raise money to produce a pro bono spot? Add notes to highlight ways your POV shaped your work and contributions.
Leadership
From mentoring and advocacy to pro-bono or diversity work, include a bio that calls out what you are doing to leave a positive mark on our industry.
APPLYING AS A CREATIVE TEAM?
Great! We’d love to get more all-woman/non-binary teams applying. Just remember that you must have both worked on all the pieces of work you’re submitting, and – when discussing the work – be sure to account for both of your POVs.
WHAT IT COSTS
Nothing. We believe so fiercely in the importance of gender diversity, that we’re working hard to break down any and all barriers to talented women and non-binary folks seeing the spotlight. And that means waiving the application fee for this competition.
