Time to Enter the 2024 Rookies

The Rookies Awards 2024
It's time for our students to enter The Rookies Awards 2024, the international competition for young creatives. The competition is now open and the deadline is 1st June 2024.

However, it's always a good idea to enter early - make a great first impression and get more eyes on your work. 

About The Rookies
The Rookies was founded in 2009 to "showcase the most talented student designers, illustrators, film makers, animators, developers, digital artists, and launch them into the career of their dreams." All our final year students are encouraged to enter as part of their Professional Practice Module PS6003.

14th Annual Rookie Awards
The 14th Annual Rookie Awards is a global showcase for talent; it is open to young creatives in visual effects, animation, games, virtual reality, motion graphics and 3d visualisation. All our graduating animation and VFX students are encouraged to enter. 

Create Your Entry Page
Start off by creating an entry page and submitting your details.  Set up a page and use it to showcase your best work - this can be both as a team (say, on a group project) and also individual work (note that professional client-facing paid work is not admissible).  

Students should treat their entry page as something they would show a recruiter when applying for a job. It should include a small bio about you, examples of your work, and your work history.

Deadline to Enter
"Offcut" - VFX Finalist
You can enter your work anytime until the deadline of June 1st 2024.

To enter The Rookies you must:
  • be 18 years or older.
  • have studied at a certified university, school, or online training facility between January 2023 and May 2024.
  • create an entry page and upload examples of your work
