“Thank you so much for everyone who entered HistoryExtra’s 30 under 30 competition. It was incredibly inspiring to see so many of the entries, and to uncover the work of so many young people sharing their passion for history, in so many surprising and innovative ways. We were spoilt for choice with the entries, but I’m confident that our final 30 are a brilliant bunch.

This is the new generation of history writers, presenters, creators and educators. These are the ones to watch: people who will forge how history is presented and practiced in the coming decades. I’m delighted this competition has been able to shine a light on their work, and can’t wait to see their careers and passion for history unfold and blossom in years to come.”

Alice Loxton, Historian and Chair of the judging panel
