B&T have revealed their 30 Under 30 shortlist for 2018

B&T’s famous 30 Under 30 is back for another year, and today they’ve announced the shortlist of nominees who are in the running to be named as one of the industry’s best young talents.

Returning once more, B&T’s 30 Under 30 intends to honour the creative talents of those in the industry who are miles ahead of their contemporaries, with judges looking for the best individuals who transcend traditional ideas to help achieve some truly original work in their field.

Numerous nominees have been named for each of the ten categories, which includes Creative, Entrepreneur, Marketing, and PR among others. Three individuals per category are set to take home an award on the night, with the Grand Prix Award also handed out for the most influential individual overall.

While plenty of worthy and talented individuals have made this year’s shortlist, special mention should be made to those whose talents extend to the music industry, including Adam Price of the Australian Radio Network, Rebecca Selth of NOVA Entertainment, and Joseph Earp of The Brag.

This year’s 30 Under 30 awards are set to be handed out at the SMC Conference & Function Centre in Sydney on April 12th. Tickets are available now, so make sure you don’t miss an opportunity to support some of the industry’s best and brightest.
