The Australian Defence Magazine is excited to announce that entries are now open for the fourth ADM 30 Under 30 Awards 2026!
It’s time to nominate your high-achieving, young colleagues for recognition of their personal triumphs and their contribution to the wider mission of defence. Visit the ADM 30 Under 30 website to submit your nomination.
The ADM 30 Under 30 Awards are open to all individuals working in Defence, defence industry or in a defence centred public service role. Nominees must be aged 30 or under on 31 December 2026.
The mission of the ADM 30 Under 30 Awards is to encourage young people to pursue careers in Defence and defence industry, and to continue to honour the young people that already do.
If you know a young colleague who deserves recognition, or if you are proud of the contributions you personally made in the 2026 calendar year within the defence community, we encourage you to fill out the nomination form through the website link above.
The Cocktail Awards Presentation will take place in the ANZAC Atrium at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra, on Wednesday 17 March 2026. It will be the 4th annual ADM 30 Under 30 Awards event, a fantastic evening filled with recognition of phenomenal, young individuals.
ADM awaits your awe-inspiring entries and continues to recognise the spectacular contributions of young people to a forever-changing defence sector.
