Electronics Weekly
Help us celebrate engineering! We are looking for the engineers – aged 30 or under – who are already making a difference in the UK in the first years of their careers. Or those who are still studying in the UK but showing promise to become the innovators and leaders in electronics in the years ahead.
Enter a deserving colleague or friend »
We are particularly interested to hear from those who have, for example, started their own business, or applied electronics know-how in the field of sustainability, or demonstrated ingenious ways of safeguarding health, or participated in STEM activities to spread knowledge, information and understanding… And we’d love as wide a range of applications as possible, whatever the individual’s background!
So entries for EW BrightSparks are now open, with a closing deadline of 1 October, when an experienced judging panel will help select the final ‘class’ of 2025 winners for a celebratory award event in London.
Now in its eighth year, you can make an entry for the awards (either nominating yourself or a colleague). For more information about the awards, see here: electronicsweekly.com/BrightSparks
The only criteria is the nominee is between 18-30 years of age and working or studying in the UK.
NB: The deadline for entries is Wednesday 1 October 2025. The Awards Ceremony, at the Elektra Awards, will be on Tuesday on 9 December 2025 at Hilton Bankside, London.
