At the end of August, the winners of the Ad School 2021 course did the same: Among 39 graduates, the winning teams of the three best final projects were selected on behalf of CSS Versicherung and honored with a bronze, silver and gold cube. The new Young Professionals are:

• Ramon Alder, Alder Strässle & Partner

The "Young Professionals" are present as jurors at the ADC judging and are entitled to vote for the shortlist and bronze awards. The young jurors are divided equally into all jury groups by the jury chairman. "Active participation in discussions with the best creatives in the jury groups is the best training," says ADC President Frank Bodin, explaining this move. Young ADC members also have free access to all professional events in the ADC Gallery and the opportunity to apply for Creative Camps and events of the ADC of Europe.
