Nominations for the MCV/DEVELOP 30 Under 30 2025 cohort are now open!

The MCV/DEVELOP 30 Under 30 will be returning as part of the upcoming MCV/DEVELOP #1006.

30 Under 30 is our yearly showcase of the video game industry’s as of yet unrecognised superstars, where we highlight a group of young people that have worked hard within the previous 12 months and tell you all about why they’re incredible.

You can find out just about everything you need to know about making a nomination here, and you can actually make your nominations over here on our brand-new web form. (Please ignore how much it looks exactly like last time’s web form, we promise they’re different.)

Nominations for the MCV/DEVELOP 30 Under 30 2025 must be submitted before midday UK time on Friday, November 14, 2025. They are open to everyone involved in the UK video games industry who will remain under the age of 30 on the December 31, 2025.

If you have any questions at all about the 30 Under 30, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team. You’ve got just under a month to nominate your picks, and we’re unlikely to extend the deadline this time, so be sure to move quickly!
