A bit about the WCA awards

The Working Class Awards are the combined brainchild of @Monsieurcabinet and @Tigzy, who decided to put their Twitter ranting to good use and launch their own awards scheme within the creative industry to promote free entry to competitions within the design industry.

The Working Class Awards is a self-acclaimed NAFF-TA for the art industry, with the aim of giving creatives a chance to get themselves seen in the industry without having to pay the ridiculous fees associated to get there. Being young creatives ourselves, we can’t give you an internship or another fancy prize, but there will be a coveted trophy and of course the chance to get your work seen by some of the most well-respected creatives in the industry, which is of course what the awards are all about. The awards are about bringing creativity back to the masses, with no limitations on previous financial success to hold back entries and so we can once again focus on the underdogs of creativity rather than corporate image.
