2019 Nomination Form

Since 1988, Campaigns & Elections has recognized up-and-comers in the campaign business with the coveted Rising Star award. It's one of the most prestigious honors in the campaign world for a reason: industry giants are counted among the ranks of former Rising Stars.

We're preparing to name the class of 2019 and for the first time ever we will recognize this year’s recipients at the annual Reed Awards & Conference, which is taking place in Atlanta, GA on February 19-20, 2020.  

C&E will select 8 Democrats, 8 Republicans, and 4 International/Nonpartisan/Third Party nominees.

If you know someone deserving of the honor, nominate them using the form below. All nominations must be submitted by December 31, 2019. To be eligible, nominees must be 36 years of age or younger on December 31, 2019. Elected officials will not be considered.

In order for the nomination to be considered complete, a photo of the nominee and any supplemental materials must also be emailed to risingstars@campaignsandelections.com with the subject line: 2019 Rising Star Nomination.

What makes nominations stand out to our judges? 1) Letters of recommendation in support of the nominee from those who have worked alongside them in the campaign world. 2) Inclusion of news articles about the nominee or their work. Submitting letters of recommendation or testimonials on behalf of the nominee is not a requirement, but it is strongly encouraged. Please also include a copy of the nominee’s resume along with the nomination form. 

You may nominate yourself, but incomplete forms will not be considered and inaccurate information will void the nomination. If you have any questions about the nomination process please contact Shane D'Aprile at sdaprile@campaignsandelections.com
