We're once again partnering with the Audio Academy to celebrate the brightest young talent in UK radio and audio.
Since its launch in 2011, being included in the 30 Under 30 list has become established as one of the great honours of a young radio professional's career, and this year’s search starts now.
Our team at Aiir includes several alumni going all the way back to the first installment, so we're honoured to be able to pass the baton on to the next generation of developing talent. It's open to people in whatever job role you have in the industry - on air, production, journalistic, sales, technical, engineering and more. If you're part of the team helping to move the industry forward, we want to hear from you.
As well as making the famed list, winners will receive free tickets to the ARIAS and the Audio Academy Festival, plus a ready-made network of peers. Not to mention every audio company boss and radio station head looking up your name...
You can nominate yourself - or if you work with someone who you feel deserves recognition, you can submit on their behalf. We love seeing both forms of application, so be proud of yourself and be proud of your colleagues!
Applications are open now - and the deadline is 23:59 on 21st August 2026.
You can find out more about the process, and get your started on your application, by going to the 30 Under 30 section of the Audio Academy website.
