The YCN Student Awards Annual for 2010/11 presents a showcase of all of those Commended as part of the previous year's programme. To pepper this year's celebrated entries a host of figures from across the creative industries have been invited to impart some advice to those following in their footsteps. Each helpful sentiment has been visualised by an emerging illustrator.

As ever, the publication marks the launch of the latest annual YCN Student Awards; presenting new live creative challenges - from the likes of Ted Baker, SEGA and Warp Records - for all those who wish to tackle them. More information on the YCN Student Awards programme can be found here.
