Three in Latin America Named to One Club’s “Get Out the Vote” Brief Jury

The One Club for Creativity announced three creatives in Latin America who are part of the global jury for the first Young Ones “Get Out the Vote” brief competition, a new free global challenge calling on undergraduate college students around the world to come up with campaigns to drive voter participation.

As the world’s leading nonprofit organization whose mission is to support the global creative community, The One Club has a long history of creative activism projects that invite creatives to use their talents to address important causes.

The “Get Out the Vote” brief is global and nonpartisan in its politics, favoring no specific candidate, party, or belief.  The only objective is to increase overall voter participation in elections around the world.

Conformed jury members from Latin America include Tomas Almuna, CCO, at The Plan in Santiago; Belén Arregui, Senior Creative, Activist at Springtime in Quito; and Yan Esteves, Creative Director, Head of Art, at LePub São Paulo.

The complete global jury can be viewed here.

Many of the judges have served on juries for The One Club’s prestigious global One Show and Art Directors Club ADC Annual Awards, two of the world’s top advertising and design awards competitions.  By entering, students have the rare opportunity to get their work in front of these top-level senior creative leaders.

“Democracy only works when people participate,” said Kevin Swanepoel, CEO, The One Club for Creativity.  “Gen Z has an extraordinary opportunity to help shape the world they will inherit, and voting is one of the most powerful ways to do that. This competition isn’t about telling young people who to vote for or what to believe. It’s about reminding them that their voice matters, their vote matters, and participating in democracy is both a right and a responsibility.”

Top entrants win cash prizes totaling $15,000: Grand Prize $5,000, two runners-up win $2,500 each, and five finalists each receive $1,000.

The competition, which is free to enter, challenges students globally to develop print, video, social media, or activation campaigns that address one of the following categories:

Participation – Creating A Culture of Voting and Participation
Relevance – Make Voting Relevant to Culture
Community – Vote Early, Vote Together

The competition is open for entry to students globally aged 18 or older who are currently enrolled in an undergraduate university program, graduate program, or portfolio program.  Recent graduates also are eligible, if their graduation date is no earlier than March 13, 2025.  A complete list of eligibility and submission requirements is available on the entry website.

Deadline for entry is August 31, 2026, with winners announced in mid-September.  While the brief is a global initiative to drive voter participation in all countries, any winning work entered from the US would run across digital and out-of-home placements during the final stretch of the country’s November mid-term elections.

In addition to receiving cash prizes, winners will also have their work posted on The One Club’s social channels and website, and considered for real-world placement through the club’s Out-of-Home and media partners, including potentially on digital billboards in major high-traffic areas.
