Inspiring young women sought for Scotland's 30 Under 30 list
The Young Women's Movement, Scotland's national organisation for young women and girls' leadership and rights, is looking for nominations for its 10th annual 30 Under 30 list.
Established in 2016, the list aims to address the limited diverse representation on other 30 Under 30 lists.

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.

"Reading the nominations is always a moving experience, and we're excited to discover this year's 30 in the tenth iteration of the list."
Nominations can be submitted until Monday, June 2, at 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.
