We’ve opened nominations for this year’s #24under24 where you can help us find the most influential young people in Bristol.
Time to nominate who you think is one of the 24 most influential Bristolians under 24. It’s our third annual list to celebrate the incredible talent in this city. We had sports stars, musicians, politicians, makers of robots and more. Check out last year’s list
Tell us their name, age, why you’re nominating them and what they do. You can self-nominate too.
This year, we’re looking to you for nominations. We want to know who you think is the most influential Bristolian in Bristol. We’re looking for entrepreneurs, artists, business owners, personalities, people who excel in their field. What I’m looking for is nominations. We’re not necessarily looking for local heroes, but key influencers, mavericks, stars of tomorrow. People like Maisie Williams, Ella Marshall, This Is DA, George Ezra. If you know of anyone who fits the criteria (listed below), it’d be great to hear from you. The plan is to release the list in mid November.
