PPA Next Gen Awards 2023

(formerly PPA 30 Under 30)


The newly rebranded PPA Next Gen Awards exist to champion 30 of the most exciting rising stars in UK specialist media. 

From dynamic data analysts, events experts, and driven sales teams; to marketing and insight stars, engaging writers, boundary-pushing people teams, and finance wizards -  we look to celebrate the individuals in our industry whose achievements and skills are shaping the future of our sector.

We encourage entries and nominations from individuals, across business and consumer media, with diverse talents and backgrounds to share their achievements.

Winners will be celebrated at an exclusive event on Thursday 12 October at the Mondrian Hotel, Shoreditch.


Applications for 2023 are now closed.
