Young Guns 20 Finalists

After several weeks of intense scrutiny, our esteemed jury has at last selected the following individuals and teams as official YG20 Finalists.

WHAT’S NEXT?

First of all, let’s give these people a hand; Young Guns is an extremely difficult honor to win, and the people competing in it are among the best in the world. Making it this far is an accomplishment in itself.

That said, it’s far from over. These finalists now move on to one last round of voting and spirited discussion. When the smoke clears, we will at last have our YG20 winners.

The new class will be publicly revealed on Wednesday, November 2, with the famously raucous ceremony and party taking place on Wednesday, November 16 at Sony Hall in New York City. Tickets are on sale now, with early bird prices continuing until October 31.
