Rising Stars nominations extended until August 30

We’re giving nominators two more weeks to submit their colleagues for early-career talent in the government technology space.

Ensuring innovative technology initiatives succeed in government takes unique leadership and vision, qualities our Rising Star Awards — a joint effort of Nextgov/FCW and Route Fifty — aim to showcase.

Anyone in the government technology community is eligible — military and civilian, career and political, contractor, academic and association expert alike. Nominees must be less than 10 years into their government IT careers, and winners are chosen for their impact, so be sure to explain what a nominee did and what all that work accomplished.

Winners will be spotlighted in the Nextgov/FCW print magazine and celebrated at a special in-person reception on Dec. 12, 2024. Nominate your Rising Stars here.
