Rookie Awards - Explained

For those of you new to the game, it's an annual contest open to young creatives in film, animation, games, virtual reality, motion graphics and 3d visualisation. Entrants can win weekly prizes and studio internships by simply sharing their best creative media work via The Rookies platform. Entrants also receive an official industry ranking, grow their confidence presenting work and can actually see how their skills compare with other aspiring artists from around the world.

We know there are loads of people anxiously waiting for the contest pages to open, so the co-founders of The Rookies - Andrew McDonald and Alwyn Hunt - sat down today to chat about the contest, our new sponsors, important dates, categories and important tips on creating the perfect entry. Check out the video and we can't wait to share what you've been working on with our solid line-up of judges.

Damn I wish I had heard about this earlier. Still going to submit my work though since there are a couple days left!

It's a shame I haven't even heard about The Rookies until now.
As someone who learns on my own, it's so pivotal to set deadlines or else I get lazy!
