The One Club for Creativity’s is now accepting entries for this year’s Next Creative Leaders awards in celebration of the women, non-binary and trans creators who are breaking new ground in the marketing industry.

Established alongside The 3% Movement, Next Creative Leaders seeks to showcase the work of copywriters, art directors, designers, ACDs, content creators and creative and design directors with less than one year of experience in their roles. Awards will also be handed out to creative teams.

Strategy is this year’s exclusive Canadian media partner for the only portfolio competition in the industry with a sole focus on the achievements of women, non-binary and trans people.

“The One Club has steadily increased programming around gender equity in the workplace,” said Kevin Swanepoel, the New York-base non-profit’s CEO. “Next Creative Leaders is an important part of our programming because it identifies, elevates and gives voice to those who are making a real difference, those who are opening the door and inspiring the next generation of creatives who follow in their footsteps.”

Participants under consideration will be judged by a jury of the world’s top creatives on a four-to-six piece body of work that displays innovation and dedication to diversity, mentorship and advocacy.

The deadline for submissions to Next Creative Leaders is June 16 and entry to the competition is free of charge.

Winners will receive a one-year membership to The One Club, become eligible for consideration to sit on future awards juries and have their work showcased on the organization’s website and social channels. The One Club will also provide tickets to its professional development conference along with panels and mentorship events.
