Three simple step to enter
Entering Rookie Awards only takes a few simple steps:
1. Choose Your Category
Each category represents a different industry. Pick the one that best matches your career goals.
Categories are like "industries", they are not necessarily based on skills. If you want to work in the Games industry, then show us your work related to this. It could be coding, it could be modeling, UI design, gameplay, fx, even animation.
2. Create Your Entry Page
Design a compelling entry page that showcases multiple examples of your best work. Include a variety of projects that highlight your skills and versatility in your chosen field.
This is very important! Treat the contest like a job interview. You get a single page to show off all your best work. Share multiple examples of work you've completed.
3. Detail Your Process
For each project, explain your creative process, the challenges you encountered, and how you applied your skills to overcome them.
Who Can Enter?
Entrants must be 18 years or older and have less than one year of professional experience in any of the creative industries featured in the contest categories, as of June 1, 2024. For further information, please read the rules.
