Rising Stars Nominations Due Today

Nominations for the Campaigns & Elections Rising Stars of 2011 are due today. Click here to submit a nomination.
 Nominees must be 35 years of age or under.
 
Qualifications for nominees can include innovative work in direct mail, polling, get-out-the-vote operations, fundraising, or media—or managing a successful long-shot campaign. (Elected officials will not be considered.) Most important of all, we are looking for operatives with a track record of achievement and the promise to attain greatness in the coming years.
 
From among those nominated, we will select the 2011 class of Rising Stars, which will include 15 Republicans, 15 Democrats, and 10 independents, nonpartisans, or non-Americans. 
 
We will feature the Rising Stars of 2011 in our June issue and at our 28th annual campaign training seminar, The Art of Political Campaigning, in Washington, D.C., on June 16-18.
