$18,796 Ultimate Creative Starter Kit Giveaway

$18,796 Ultimate Creative Starter Kit Giveaway

To celebrate our 10th Annual Rookie Awards, and all the support we've received over the years, we are giving away the Ultimate Creative Starter Kit worth approximately US$18,796 to help take your creative skills to the next level.

For the first time during a Rookie Awards you will have a chance to win a prize regardless of your skill level, experience or even how much you impress the judges with your entry.

The goal of this prize is to encourage you to share your work even if you don't think you can win a category prize. We understand everyone is not ready for a job and we want you to have an incentive to share your work online which is pretty intimidating for the first time. We know all artists (even pros) struggle with sharing work publicly, so hopefully this epic prize will motivate you to get involved and realise it's ok to not have a perfect portfolio - that will come with time.

The Ultimate Creative Starter Kit includes:

  • Foundry - 12 month Production Collective
  • Autodesk - 12 month 3ds Max or Maya Subscription
  • Pixologic - ZBrushCore 2020 Single User Perpetual License
  • SideFX - Houdini Core
  • Adobe - 12 months Creative Cloud Subscription
  • Maxon - 12 months Cinema 4D Subscription
  • ChaosGroup - V-Ray License
  • Substance - 12 months Substance Indie Subscription
  • Wacom - Wacom One
  • ToonBoom - 12 months Harmony Premium Subscription
