Meet your 2021-22 World Champions

Professional Champions

Thomas Zoldhelyi & Simon Mullins

Location: Australia (Rare/Freelance)
Season Highlights: 1 x Gold, 2 x Silver, 4 x Bronze, 8 x Finalists

“Young Glory was an experience like no other, evoking the full spectrum of emotions. Anxiety and excitement with the arrival of each of the eight challenging briefs. Joy for the wins, sometimes mixed in with surprise thanks to a healthy dose of self doubt. Jealousy looking at the amazing work our competitors submitted. And trust, developed between an unlikely creative pair who only met because of LinkedIn’s stalker notifications and spent just 5 minutes on a zoom call together before committing to an 8-month partnership. The competition really did have it all. We’d like to thank the organisers, the judges and our fellow participants for making this experience what it was and for helping us grow as creatives.”
— Thomas & Simon

Student Champions

Max Anderholm & Nicolas Lindberg

Location: Sweden (Berghs School of Communication)
Season Highlights: 3 x Gold, 2 x Bronze, 5 x Finalists

Jumping into Young Glory we didn’t quite know what to expect (other than a lot of caffeinated beverages and trashed ideas). But looking back at these months we feel like they helped us to develop our personal style. We liked how the competition pushes you to put the idea before everything else - the true essence of great advertising. We want to thank all the cafés and bars that have put up with us and advise any creative wanting to challenge themself to embark on the journey that is Young Glory.
— Max & Nicolas
