Nominations are open for Bristol’s 24 people under 24
A city brimming with young talent and people showing that youth is no barrier in making change, Rife Magazine is rounding up the city’s 24 most influential people under the age of 24.
The annual list of change-making, culture shifting people celebrates the city’s youth, and anyone can nominate a person to be recognised.

Designed to be a conversation-starter and a discussion tool to encourage talk around the important work young people are doing, previous individuals recognised include everyone from a seven-year-old golfer in 2018 to the director of Bristol mental health and wellbeing festival, Freedom of Mind, in 2016.
Winners in 2018 included actor and BFI Film Academy Bristol alumni Ella-Rae Kirby-Smith, rising music star Fenne Lily, previous youth mayor Hannah Hier – who has gone on to complete work experience at Bristol24/7 – and activist Samya Sarfaraz, organiser of Wellfest.
Fenne Lily is a Bristol-based folk singer-songwriter
