Portfolio Reviews
Young Ones may celebrate some of the best students in the game, but Creative Week is here to help all students and recent grads shine by way of its must-attend Portfolio Reviews!
In-Person
On Tuesday, May 13, we’ll be hosting not one but two in-person portfolio review sessions at The One Club for Creativity Gallery in Hudson Yards. This is a stellar opportunity for up-and-coming talent to get in front of creatives and recruiters from numerous top agencies and brands. You’ll get much-needed feedback, make connections, and maybe even land an internship or a job!
Virtual
Can’t make it to New York? Not to worry! We’ll be going virtual with an online portfolio review on Wednesday, May 14, allowing you to show the world what you’ve got, no matter where in the world you are.

Client Pitch Competition
The idea hit you like a bolt of lightning. You feverishly worked to bring it to life. You tried a million taglines before landing on just the right one. Every pixel, every frame, every layer has been immaculately crafted — then thrown in the trash and crafted again. The audience, the reach, the scale, the interaction, all were carefully considered. And now, after putting every last drop of passion and perfection into your work, you can finally say that you created a masterpiece.
And yet, if you can’t sell it to the client, it goes nowhere.
Returning from a multi-year hiatus, top young creatives will have the opportunity to pitch their ideas to the clients who sponsored this year's competition.
Want to catch a glimpse of their brilliance as they go up against one another at this *friendly* pitch competition? Want to mix and mingle with your fellow Young Ones before the ceremony?
RSVP for the Client Pitch on Monday, May 12.
