I was thrilled to be directed by a few people today to the above link. My entry for the Cartoon Network YCN award brief was chosen as one of 3 commended winners. Stay tuned for more info, all I know is that I think I win a giant rubber 'A' award and will be in the YCN annual later this year.
Thanks to the YCN for being an awards program that a) doesn't charge students to enter and b) follows up the initial interest by getting young designers work in the years after graduation.
