Innovative rising stars are hard to come by. It takes bottle and brains to push boundaries at an early stage in your career, but some of the best innovations come from taking a fresh approach.

We’ll be looking for the shining lights in the media industry who’ve already shown flashes of brilliance and who will no doubt be pioneers in the years to come.

This category will recognise a media newcomer who has demonstrated potential to make an impact on the media industry in the future. Nominations will be considered across all media and could be a business person, creative or media personality.

Nominations in this category are free and can be made by anyone. The MEGAs judging panel will consider the nominations and select the winner.
