Rising Stars
Emerging professionals with evidenced achievement and potential within their field. Rising Stars does not imply an age limit unless one is expressly announced.
What the selection considers

Potential
Each category requires its own evidence and selection criteria. Professional qualifications are checked where relevant; commercial size alone does not establish excellence. Final criteria and any weighting are published before assessment begins.

Selection is not a numerical ranking unless an edition publishes a scoring methodology. OBS Live may recognise fewer than 100 people when evidence does not support a full selection.
