New Talent Award

Creative Belgium is passionate about encouraging the next generation of creative talent to showcase their creativity. In partnership with the D&AD New Blood Awards, the New Talent Award competition offers students in the world of communication, advertising and design the chance to show the world how they shine.

No matter what your creative discipline happens to be, there are no less than 17 briefings from 17 international brands to choose from. From advertising, copywriting, branding, typography, PR, UX/UI/graphic design to motion & game design, this competition offers a challenge for everyone.

You will not only build real-world skills with real-world practice while you’re still in school, but will also have a phone full of real-world contacts by participating actively in our New Talent Award program. We offer Mentor-at-Home sessions for a selection of briefings to help you gain skills to succeed in tomorrow’s creative industry. 

In light of Creative Belgium’s mission to export Belgian talent and help it draw the international attention it deserves, all entries for the New Talent Award are also in the running for participation in the international New Blood Awards. Take on a brief, show your most creative self and you might win an award or two to dangle in front of a potential recruiter!

Agencies from the Creative Belgium community join to support the next generation of industry talent. They share their wisdom and experience in Mentor-at-Home sessions. Professionals from the field will help you to break down the briefing and set a clear path for your campaign. Each session will end with a live Q&A.

Mentor-at-Home is organized via Zoom and always takes places from 6-7pm. These sessions are open to all students and young potentials. You don't have to participate in the New Talent Award to join us and learn!

There’s no better way to learn how to make great work than by working with those who make great work every day. That is why we are bringing in experts from the field to guide you along the way for all briefings that are not covered by a Mentor-at-Home session.
