Search for young creative and tech wizards: deadline extended

The deadline for nominations for the community’s young tech titans and creative wizards has been extended to the end of the month following a flood of entries since the project was launched by Jewish News.

Until 31 July, names are being accepted through our website for two separate Forty under 40 lists:   Creatives40 sponsored by Dangoor Education and Tech40 sponsored by LabTech.

Nominations will also come from two expert panels – facilitated by fashion business leader Andrew Gilbert – who will then have the task of selecting the 40-strong lists to be profiled in the JN in the autumn.

Justin Cohen, co-publisher of Jewish News, said: “We are thrilled by the response to this project, our first time spotlighting young members of the community making waves in these two exciting fields. The calibre of our judges is testament to the contributions made by our small community in these areas and the nominations received already shows that this is set to continue for years to come.”

Nominees can be business owners, practitioners, funders or contribute in other ways across any part of the tech or creativity arenas (the nomination form features a breakdown).

Potential listees must live in the UK and be under 40 years old on 1 October.

Two further lists – property and business services – will be launched later this year.

Please nominate at https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/creatives40 and https://www.jewishnews.co.uk/tech40
