American Horse Publications (AHP) announces the inaugural AHP Equine Media NextGen Award which will be presented annually to up-and-coming working equine media professionals who have made a significant impact in advancing equine media while upholding journalistic excellence, integrity, and trust in a competitive communications world.
This distinguished award is a unique opportunity to publicly recognize young equine media professionals whose commitment, dedication, and service have made their careers shine above the rest.
While nominees are not required to be AHP members, the lead nominator of the individual must be an AHP member or employee of an AHP member. Nominees must be between the ages of 25 and 35 years old and reside in the U.S. or Canada. Self-nomination is not permitted.

AHP Equine Media NextGen Award recipients will be selected by a committee of media professional experts who will review and evaluate the nominations.

The individual(s) will be recognized on the AHP website and during the Equine Media Conference (in person or virtual).
