30 Under 30 nominations begin

The UK games industry’s best up-and-coming talent will take their place in the spotlight when MCV’s annual 30 Under 30 returns next month.

Every year this hugely popular feature highlights the achievements and exertions of the industry’s younger execs working across the UK. It is sponsored by recruitment specialist OPM.

You can nominate your staff, a colleague, a peer or even yourself by emailing MCV’s James.Batchelor@intentmedia.co.uk.

This year’s MCV 30 Under 30 will be published on Friday, October 28th and we’re inviting all of our readers to nominate their favourite rising stars from within the industry.

Candidates can be from retail, publishing, the media, distribution, services and the online sector.

We want to hear from every corner of the trade – with the exception of video games development, which will be covered by a separate 30 Under 30 feature in MCV’s sister publication Develop later in the year.

All nominations must include a high-res photo of the candidate, their job title and role, age and a paragraph on why they should be considered.

Nominations should be submitted no later than Friday, October 14th to James.Batchelor@intentmedia.co.uk.
