We are delighted to announce the winners of the 30 To Watch: Politics awards for 2023.
As we approach a year that is likely to bring significant change to British politics, it seems fitting to search out the talent that looks set shape of politics into the future. That’s what MHP Group’s 30 To Watch: Politics is all about.
This is the second year for our Politics awards, which were launched in 2022 as a companion for our long-established 30 To Watch: Journalism awards, which have become a sought-after prize for emerging British journalists and been proven remarkably successful in their ability to foretell a bright career.
We were overwhelmed by the increased interest in 30 To Watch: Politics this year, with applications three-times the number received in the inaugural year. This success was in no small part driven by our committed partners: Total Politics, Savanta, Dods Political Intelligence, DeepSeer, and I have a voice, who helped us promote the opportunity to the widest possible audience.
Congratulations to our 2023 Winners.
