Last call for 30 Under 30 nominations

Don’t say we didn’t warn you: the deadline for nominations for this year’s 30 Under 30 is very close. It’s the end of play today, Tuesday 20th, in fact.

Every year, MCV presents a list of the UK games market’s rising stars, and the 2009 edition of 30 Under 30 is no different.

The feature, sponsored by recruitment firm OPM, will once again highlight the achievements and exertions of the industry’s younger execs working across the UK games industry. All sectors of the market will be covered – with the exception of games development. (A separate 30 Under 30 feature by MCV’s sister publication, Develop, will shine a spotlight on the creative community’s hottest young talent in the New Year.)

MCV will publish the 30 Under 30 feature in the issue dated October 30th out next week – and we need all nominations by the end of today, Tuesday October 20th.

For a nomination to be considered, it must include a hi-res photo of the candidate, their job title and role, age, plus a short explanation of why that person should be considered.

Nominations should be submitted by 6pm today to Michael.French@intentmedia.co.uk.

So if you haven’t already, and want to nominate yourself, your staff, or a colleague – get cracking, and email us.
