Key figures in the industry
The event gives talented young people the opportunity to network during their training and to get to know key figures in the industry. For them - industry experts, agencies, studios - it's an opportunity to get a direct insight into the minds of the next generation of graphic designers. Such networking opportunities can be crucial for further career development.
After the winners have been honored in the Neubad, the subsequent afterparty in the Neubad Klub offers an additional opportunity to exchange ideas and maintain contacts in an informal setting.
Each of the 30 winners will also be featured in a publication and presented on the competition website, giving them an optimal platform to share their work with a wide audience. New this year will be videos about the individual learners, in which they can talk about their work and creative work. These videos can be found on social media and will additionally be made available to schools as teaching aids.
