30 Under 30: Nominations close this week

You have only a couple of days left to go if you want your peers, your friends, your staff or even yourself to be considered for this year’s Develop 30 Under 30.

30 Under 30, in association with OPM, continues to be one of our most popular annual features and with only 30 spaces available – the clue’s in the title – you need to act fast to ensure your favourite rising star is featured.

In fact, you have just over two weeks, with all nominations needed by 5pm UK time on Wednesday, December 23rd.

The feature is open to anyone involved in video games development, from larger studios to new indies, and from anywhere in the world. We’ll be announcing the 15 men and 15 women in the February issue of Develop magazine early next year.

You need to be under 30 after January 1st, 2016. Anyone that hits the big three-oh prior to this is not eligible.

To apply for a place, simply send:

  • a high-resolution photo of your nominee
  • their job title and place of employment (don’t worry, independents can still be nominated)
  • their date of birth
  • a paragraph on why they should earn a place in this year’s 30 Under 30 

Email all this to JBatchelor@nbmedia.com before 5pm UK time on Wednesday, December 23rd.
