ADC Young Guns exists to identify the vanguard of creative professionals who let loose their imaginations, shattering conventions and breaking boundaries with a dash of brilliance and personal flair. Those of you who’ve set your minds to making a name for yourself, raising new standards from within cubicles, conference rooms, cramped apartments, and studios across the world—this is your chance to put those battle cries in action. If you’re age thirty or under and have two years of the working life under your belt, we’d like you to show us what it’s all about.

On a quest to identify the brightest young professionals across myriad creative disciplines, ADC Young Guns has become more than just a competition—it now comprises a community network of rebels and prodigies, unsung heroes and rising stars. Over the years, our roster has grown to include five classes of exceptional talent, among them Stefan Sagmeister (YG1), Rei Inamoto (YG4), James Victore (YG1), Ryan McGinness (YG2), floto+warner (YG5), Alexander Gelman (YG1), Deanne Cheuk (YG4), Todd St. John (YG1), Scott Stowell (YG3), and Mike Mills (YG1). And this year, for the first time in the history of the competition, “old” Young Guns will serve as the jury and select the fifty new creative wonders that will form the class of ADC Young Guns 6.

Ready to join the ranks of ADC Young Guns? Answer the call. Entries are being accepted April 3–June 2; honorees will be notified in August. Full details here.

Don't sleep, these are great light Summer shoes, and will most likely move constantly till they're gone.

Another drop 10 Deep to hold us over till the next large update. The "Prince Buster" Polo's feature subtle detailing, such as a tonal diagonal stripe on the body, as well as matching collar tips and sleeve ribbing.
