The Hog Ring - Nominate Yourself for SEMA's Visionary 8

SEMA has replaced its annual “35 Under 35” list with a new honor called “Visionary 8” — and here’s your chance to win!

“Visionary 8” spotlights eight young professionals who are on track to lead, disrupt and strengthen the automotive aftermarket industry. “This an opportunity to showcase young up-and-coming talent, honor their accomplishments, and introduce them to their community,” SEMA says.

Award recipients will be the subjects of in-depth feature article in an upcoming issue of SEMA Magazine.

The criteria is the same. Nominees must:

  • Be the age of 35 or under.
  • Demonstrate the vision, talent, innovation, integrity, success and leadership needed to become a leader.
  • Complete a self-nomination form (which can be done with or without a recommendation) and receive a completed industry-endorsement from a colleague.

“‘Visionary 8′ will maintain the ’35 Under 35’ legacy while enhancing the quality of representation that is given to our industry’s rising stars,” said Jose Escobar, SEMA manager of recognition programs. “The list is now more competitive than ever, and the selection process will be even more rigorous.”

The deadline to nominate yourself is August 30, 2024. Click here to complete the entry form.
