It is designed to celebrate young women, girls, and non-binary people in Scotland who are making a difference in their lives, communities, or society.
Each year, the list highlights some of Scotland's most inspiring young artists, activists, carers, volunteers, and trailblazers.
Last year's list included Eilidh Craib, a champion teenage kickboxer from Aberdeenshire; Elsie Ong, a 13-year-old activist from Dumfries and Galloway; and Shannon Boston, a researcher investigating Shetland's drug and alcohol culture.
It also featured artists, campaigners, journalists, and community champions.
Jenni Snell, chief executive officer of The Young Women's Movement, said: "Young women are leading change across Scotland – within their own lives and communities, as well as at a national level.
"In a climate of rising misogyny online and offline, 30 Under 30 is a much-needed opportunity to celebrate and recognise young women's achievements and the positive impact they have.

Nominations can be submitted until Monday, June 2, at youngwomenscot.org/30Under30, where more information is also available.
Self-nominations for the list are also welcome.
The Young Women's Movement hopes to see stories from an eclectic range of age groups, parts of Scotland, and areas of life.

Donald Trump breaks his silence after landing in Prestwick as he hails Scottish celebrity
DONALD Trump hailed 007 legend Sir Sean Connery for helping him build his golf courses moments after landing in Scotland tonight. The president of the free world wasted no time in name-dropping the acting legend as he stepped off the flight from the State s. 2 2 Trump said Connery, from Edinburgh, helped him get the permits for the two courses at the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire that he will visit next week. The new course will be named after his mother Mary MacLeod who was born and raised on the Isle of Lewis. The plane landed just before 8.28pm before it taxi'd along the tarmac at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire. Trump eventually surfaced at 8.40 at the door of the aircraft, waving to the crowds. He then took his time going down the stairs before meeting the welcoming comittee including Scottish Secretary Ian Murray. Trump then chatted ot the waiting media. He said: 'There's no place like Turnberry. It's the best course in the world. 'My son is going to cut a ribbon for the second course in Aberdeen. 'Sean Connery helped get me the permits, if it wasn't for Sean Connery we wouldn't have those great courses.' He then launched into criticism of immigration into Europe and 'windmills' across the countryside and in the sea. He said: 'I say two things to Europe. 'Stop the windmills. You're ruining your countries, killing the birds, it's so sad. 'On immigration, you better get your act together or else you won't have a Europe.' Hundreds of people gathered at the Mound viewing point to catch the iconic aircraft landing. Some plane spotters and Trump fans descended on the spot close to the runway from the morning to wait for his arrival. One supporter waved a Make America Great Again flag, while another man wore a cap with the tongue-in-cheek message Scotland Is Already Great emblazoned on it. Some youngsters were also seen sporting Trump's signature red MAGA hat. The airport area was under heavy security, with scores of cops keeping a close eye on the crowds. Police snipers also stood watch on Prestwick's air traffic control tower and a scaffold platform close to where the Commander in Chief disembarked the iconic modified Boeing 747. Earlier in the day, Marine One, the President's helicopter, was spotted being prepared outside a hangar at Prestwick. Mr Trump's large motorcade was also on standby airside, including blacked out SUVs and the President's heavily armoured car, known as the Beast.

The Latest: Trump leaves for Scotland to inaugurate a new golf course in Aberdeenshire
President Donald Trump will travel to Scotland on Friday as his family's business prepares for the Aug. 13 opening of a new golf course in Aberdeenshire billed as 'the greatest 36 holes in golf.' While there, Trump will talk trade with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a meeting he's said will take place at 'probably one of my properties.' Using this week's presidential overseas trip — with its sprawling entourage of advisers, White House and support staffers, Secret Service agents and reporters — to help show off Trump-brand golf destinations demonstrates how the president has become increasingly comfortable intermingling his governing pursuits with promoting his family's business interests. Here's the latest: 'South Park' co-creator jokes he's 'terribly sorry' over premiere that drew White House anger 'South Park' co-creator Trey Parker had the briefest of responses Thursday to anger from the White House over the season premiere of the animated institution, which showed a naked President Trump in bed with Satan. 'We're terribly sorry,' Parker said, followed by a long, deadpan-comic stare. Parker was asked for his reaction to the fracas as he sat on the stage at San Diego's Comic-Con International at the beginning of a Comedy Central animation panel that also included his 'South Park' partner Matt Stone, 'Beavis and Butt-Head' creator Mike Judge, and actor Andy Samberg, who co-created the animated 'Digman!' Earlier in the day, the White House issued a statement on the 27th season premiere, which aired Wednesday night. 'This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in the statement. 'President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak.' ▶ Read more about Trump and 'South Park' Trump's schedule, according to the White House 8 a.m. ET — Trump is set to depart for Scotland 3:20 p.m. ET — Trump arrives in Scotland
