Future Leader Awards: Categories announced

Over the last year-plus, leaders have emerged at companies in every industry. But most awards only recognize execs and department heads, ignoring the industry's equally important, albeit more junior, up-and-comers.

The Future Leader Awards, presented by Digiday, Glossy and Modern Retail, showcase the next generation of leaders across media and marketing, fashion, beauty and retail. By submitting, you're giving your team's rising stars the opportunity to be recognized for their contributions and innovative ideas.

Past winners hailed from PepsiCo, Refinery 29, Thousand Fell and more. You can read more about what made them stand out here and submit your future leaders for this year’s awards below. Enter before the early deadline on November 12 to get the best rate on entries.
