30 To Watch: Politics is back for its second year to celebrate the best young talent in British Politics.
In partnership with Total Politics Group, our headline partner, we have launched a nationwide search to identify 30 individuals aged 30 or under, who are producing fresh policy thinking, shedding light on new issues, and broadening public engagement with politics.
At a time of growing political polarisation and generational change, 30 To Watch Politics wants to celebrate the people in the early stages of their careers, who are already driving future change. Because of this, the awards are, and always will be, free to enter.

When assessing nominees in each category, judges will be looking at the political impact and influence an individual has demonstrated over 2023.

If you are nominating someone else, please tick the box at the start of the form, and imput your details into the first three fields.
