Who can enter?

Any individual who has been working in UK radio for no less than 12 months prior to 28th September 2012 and will be under 30 on the 1st November 2012.

What do we mean by ‘UK radio’?

Any OFCOM (or similarly regulated) licensed radio station (BBC, Commercial, Student, Community, Hospital), BBC production units, independent production companies, advertising agencies, BFBS etc.

Can I still enter If I’m a volunteer, work unpaid or am freelance?

The simple answer is yes! We only ask that you give us the name and contact details of your station manager (or equivalent) so we can verify what you’ve told us.

Do I nominate myself?

You can put yourself forward, or you can nominate someone else or ask someone to nominate you – there are two very simple entry forms – just pick the one that’s right for you.

What do I do next?

Unfortunately, entry for the 30 Under 30 2012 has now closed. The final 30 will be announced at the Radio Festival in Salford in November.
