Straight from the heart of the music industry, European YCC 2011 jury member Sven Schäferkord talks about his role in an innovative subsidiary of Sony Music – and the importance of working with, not against, change.
Will Hudson, design guru and founder of London-based It’s Nice That, is a true believer in creativity – which explains why he will be joining the European YCC 2011 jury this summer.

YCC Winners know that Young Creative Chevrolet is about more than flexing creative muscles. YCC can open doors – the big, bright and hard-to-find kind.
When Peter Klohmann, YCC 2010 2nd Prize Winner, Music, sat in the driver’s seat of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air on a late September evening, it was only a taste of what was to come that night.
As this year comes to an end, YCC 2010 winners (pictured left) may still be thinking about the festive Young Creative Chevrolet Award Night that took place in Paris back in September – or already looking ahead to YCC 2011.
Jungeun’s creativity often strikes in bed, just before she falls asleep. The darkness and calm help her concentrate.

Daniel Kovács describes himself as multicultural, curious, humble, humorous and positive, which is totally reflected in his sunny, catchy style of music.
Right now Daniel is on vacation – relaxing and working as a freelance graphic designer.

We managed to pin him down for a few minutes to talk about Young Creative Chevrolet and much more…

The entries this year inspired and excited us with their creativity and innovative feel.
