HistoryExtra's 30 under 30 competition
Are you between 18 and 30 years of age and passionate about history? Why not enter our '30 under 30' competition...
Historian, presenter and author Alice Loxton and HistoryExtra are looking for the next generation of history makers.
It doesn’t matter if you’re doing something that's local or national, with a small audience or a huge platform, we want to hear about – and celebrate – young people around the UK who are making a contribution to the history space.
You might be…
- A stonemason blending heritage skills with a contemporary outlook
- A student organising inspiring events for a university history society
- A Roman reenactor dropping facts and 'fits on TikTok
- An academic unearthing little-known histories
If you’re between the ages of 18 and 30, and doing something to preserve history or improve people’s understanding of it, we want to hear from you. Use the form below to submit your entry before the closing date and our panel of judges will select 30 winners to be listed as HistoryExtra’s ‘30 under 30’ for 2024. As a UK-based publication, we’re only considering nominees who are UK residents, to ensure consistency in judging. Entries close at 23:59 on 7 June.
