The International Literacy Association (ILA) is seeking nominations for its second annual 30 Under 30 list. The list recognizes the literacy leaders of tomorrow—the innovators and disruptors, the visionaries and motivators—who are changing the face of literacy across the globe.

“In 2015, we hand-selected 30 literacy champions from hundreds of nominees for the first-ever 30 Under 30 list. These honorees represent the next generation of literacy leaders who are already making a difference in literacy development around the world,” said Marcie Craig Post, ILA’s executive director. “We’re looking for 30 more literacy champions who are continuing to transform the literacy landscape.”

Nominations are open to educators, administrators, authors, librarians, students, nonprofit leaders, politicians, technology experts, volunteers, and advocates who are under 30 years old (as of Nov. 1, 2016) and are making an extraordinary impact across their communities to advance literacy for all.

If you or someone you know has shown exceptional commitment to advancing literacy, ILA invites you to complete a short form. All nominations must be received by May 16, 2016, at 11:59 p.m. ET.

Each honoree will be featured in the September/October issue of Literacy Today, ILA’s bi-monthly magazine, and across ILA’s social channels. Each honoree will also receive a complimentary one-year ILA Online Membership and be recognized at the ILA 2017 Conference & Exhibits.

The 30 Under 30 list debuted in 2015 to honor rising literacy champions around the globe. See the inaugural class here.
