Melbourne designer Nancy Beka selected as a Young Guns 22 Winner

Nancy Beka, an architectural designer at Studio Edwards in Melbourne, is one of 33 individuals and teams from around the world who have been named winners in The One Club for Creativity’s prestigious Young Guns 22 competition, celebrating global creative professionals age 30 or younger.

Young Guns is the industry’s only global, cross-disciplinary, portfolio-based awards competition that identifies and celebrates today’s vanguard of young creatives.  This year’s entries were judged by a diverse jury of 101 creatives — many of whom are past YG winners — from 45 countries.

The complete list of this year’s winners can be viewed here.  YG22 winners will be celebrated at a special in-person party on November 13, 2024 at Sony Hall in New York.

At the event, The One Club will also announce the Young Guns 22 Creative Choice Award winner, as voted by the global creative community.  Anyone can view the work of this year’s winners and vote on which one they believe stands above all others.  Voting is open now through November 8, 2024, 11:59 pm PT.

Young Guns winners receive a unique version of the iconic Young Guns Cube, designed exclusively for this year’s incoming class, and have their permanent profile page added to the Young Guns website.

Program branding and design of the YG Cube award itself is reimagined each year by a past Young Guns winner.  This year’s YG22 branding was created by renowned New York-based designer, illustrator, muralist, and author Timothy Goodman (YG7).

Winners also receive a complimentary one-year One Club membership, permanent membership in the Young Guns network, a chance to be featured in Young Guns events and an assortment of career-boosting opportunities from Young Guns sponsors.
