Rookie Awards 2025 Finalists...After months of global submissions and rigorous judging, the Finalists for the 2025 Rookie Awards have been announced. Every year thousands of artists from over 100 countries put forth entries showcasing, arguably, the best amateur work from the world of Animation, Architectural Design, VFX, Game Art, Concept Art, Digital Fashion, and more.
Artists submit their work to the esteemed Rookie of the year categories, along with a number of Career Opportunities, offering them a definitive on-ramp into the industry. Every year we make it a goal to support Think Tank Students and qualifying Alumni to enter the Rookie Awards as a way to give their budding careers a boost. And every year we are blown away by the entries that they produce and the honors that they earn.
Competing within VFX, Animation, Games and Digital Fashion, we are delighted to present Think Tank’s 2025 Rookie Awards Finalists!
