Contests
Contests are at the heart of The Rookies, where members challenge themselves, unleash creativity, and grow their skills. Designed for all levels, our contests are an opportunity to push boundaries, showcase talent, and refine your craft while working on targeted briefs.
This isn’t just about winning—it’s about learning, improving, and connecting with the creative community. Contests offer a chance to earn badges, win prizes, gain certificates, and access industry training that helps you advance your career.
