Announcing The 2024 Forbes 30 Under 30 Local Lists

NOMINATIONS ARE NOW OPEN

Wanted: The top young founders and leaders in Cincinnati, Connecticut, Denver, Houston, Indiana, Minneapolis, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Tennessee or Washington, D.C.

More than a decade after Forbes launched the 30 Under 30 franchise, we debuted our inaugural 30 Under 30 Local list in 2023 to highlight 300 changemakers in 10 local communities. This year, we’ve selected 10 new innovation hubs to spotlight on our 2024 30 Under 30 Local list: Cincinnati, Connecticut, Denver, Houston, Indiana, Minneapolis, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Tennessee and Washington, D.C.

Do you know someone in those locations reinventing the worlds of tech, business, art & culture, food, retail, entertainment and impact? Nominate them (or yourself!) today.

NOMINATION GUIDELINES

• Nominees must be 29 or younger on August 7, 2024, and have never appeared on an Under 30 list before.

• Nominees must reside in or have their business based in the following areas: Cincinnati, Connecticut, Denver, Houston, Indiana, Minneapolis, Missouri, Pittsburgh, Tennessee or Washington, D.C.

• Those who appear on the final Under 30 Local Lists are still eligible for future Forbes lists, including the Forbes 30 Under 30 North America, Europe and Asia lists.

• The deadline for nominations is 11:59 p.m. ET on June 7, 2024.

• To source candidates for the list, Forbes writers and editors comb through these online submissions, as well as tap industry sources and list alumni for recommendations. Candidates are evaluated by Forbes writers and a panel of independent, expert judges on a variety of factors, including (but not limited to) funding, revenue, social impact, scale, inventiveness and potential.
