Behold! The 30 Under 30 Shortlist Revealed!
Folks, the day is here. The entries are in. The judges have judged. The results are final. The B&T 2018 30 Under 30 shortlist is here! And oh boy, are we excited.
Almost as excited as you’ll be if you’re shortlisted!
Brought to you yet again by the lovely people over at NewsMediaWorks, the 2018 B&T 30 Under 30 Awards drew in over 320 entries from the industry’s best and brightest.
And now, we have the cream of the crop, the best of the best – the shortlisted candidates for 2018! The judges cut some pretty high calibre entries to get to this point, and have whittled down the entries to a few high-scoring individuals from each category. So obviously, winning one of those coveted 30 Under 30 trophies would be fab to say the least.
Before we get to the shortlist, here’s one important note – make sure your name and company are spelled correctly.
Yes, we know you submitted it and you should know how to spell your own name and the name of your company. But in that procrastination-driven, last-minute panic, sometimes people make mistakes. And if you win, a trophy really won’t look as good if it doesn’t have the correct name on it. People will probably think you stole it because of all the praise our 30 Under 30 winners get.
So advise of any name or company changes ASAP to viv@bandt.com.au. Right now. You silly ducks.
The 30 Under 30 Awards will be held in Sydney at the SMC Conference & Function Centre on Thursday 12 April.
And a friendly reminder that if you’ve been shortlisted, you must buy a ticket to the event. Early bird tickets available until March 30, so grab em here! Find out if you’ve been shortlisted below:
