We are
sooo back!

B&T’s 30 Under 30 Awards, presented by Vevo, is THE event celebrating trailblazers in the advertising, marketing and media industries!

Our distinguished panel of judges are once again on the hunt for the sharpest young talent in the business. 

There is only one requirement. You must be under 30!

Entrants will compete across a range of categories spanning media, marketing, advertising and communications. 

The judges are looking for standouts: the ones already punching well above their weight, driving results and reshaping how the industry does business. 

Winning isn’t the finish line, it’s the starting gun. Alumni of these awards have gone on to land some of the most senior and influential seats in the industry. 

The clock’s ticking. Get your entries in before time runs out!
