Overview of the 12th GATSBY CREATIVE AWARDS
The GATSBY CREATIVE AWARDS is one of the largest award events in Asia aimed at students. Provided by "GATSBY," a men's grooming brand with a strong presence across Asian countries, the event initially began as the "GATSBY Student CM Awards" in 2006 from the company's desire to provide a forum for students to express and display their creative talent.
 
Young persons interested in becoming creators or performers in the future are naturally interested in 'creating' things and 'expressing' themselves. The GATSBY CREATIVE AWARDS is aimed at just such students across Asia and invites even beginners to casually submit their own creative ideas.
