ADCE Student Awards 2026 Open: Showcasing Europe’s brightest emerging creative talent

We launch the third edition of the ADCE Student Awards. The competition is open to students and recent graduates from across Europe, offering a unique opportunity to gain international visibility and showcase outstanding academic and portfolio work.

To be eligible, participants must be aged 18 or older and currently enrolled in a European undergraduate, graduate, or portfolio programme.

Entries will be open until 14 August 2026.

Participation in the ADCE Student Awards also contributes points towards The One Club for Creativity’s Global Creative College Rankings, offering additional recognition for educational institutions and their creative excellence.

Last year’s YoungStar title was awarded to “The USB Paradox” by Felix Foltas and Jonas Perkmann from FH Salzburg (Austria).

The Student Awards Gala
The ceremony will take place in Barcelona on 18th November as part of ADCE Creative Week, the annual creative festival expected to welcome creatives from all over Europe.
