November 28, 2016 | 4 min read

Google and The Ad Club of New York, in conjunction with The Drum, have teamed up to present their 4th annual Young Innovators Award. This award is all about excellence and innovation by young professionals who are making their marks in advertising, marketing and media. In addition to the valuable global recognition, the winner receives a $5,000 prize.

What’s most exciting about this year’s nominees is the width, breadth and depth of their backgrounds and commitment to doing the best work possible. Additionally, we’re excited to have great representation from around the world.

Voting is now closed. Finalists will be named, then a panel of judges will determine the winner to be announced around mid-January. We will inform the public about the date after the holiday break.
