ABOUT THE AWARDS

These awards are brought to you by the organisers of The Press Awards and The Regional Press Awards. For more than 60 years, these awards have set the gold standard for British journalism.

Building on this legacy, the Press 30 Under 30 Awards serve as the UK's most prestigious programme dedicated exclusively to the next generation of industry leaders. This unique platform spotlights the craft in all its forms, from investigative scoops to brilliant feature writing, across every medium, including print, broadcast and digital-pure play. We celebrate young talent across the UK who demonstrate originality, creativity, and passion. Whether covering politics, sport, or culture, our categories recognise those pushing boundaries and driving meaningful change.

Now in its third year, the Press 30 Under 30 Awards act as a career-defining launchpad. A place on the list is a powerful endorsement from senior industry figures, marking recipients as "ones to watch." By elevating these voices, we highlight the journalists shaping the future of media, opening doors to new opportunities, and inspiring the next chapter of impactful storytelling.
