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 been the gold standard for recognising the most respected and impactful names in British journalism.

Building on this legacy, the Press 30 Under 30 Awards aim to spotlight the next generation of journalists who are already making waves early in their careers. This award scheme is designed to celebrate young talent across the UK who have demonstrated originality, creativity, and passion within their field. Whether they are breaking important news stories, connecting deeply with audiences, or using their platform to drive meaningful change, these awards recognise those who are pushing the boundaries of modern journalism.

Now in its second year, the Press 30 Under 30 Awards look for those who show a unique flair in their storytelling and have a tangible impact on their audiences. This award is not just about individual achievement but also about highlighting the journalists who are helping to shape the future of media, inspiring others, and leading the way for positive change in the field.
