Time is running out for the new generation of Irish American leaders to be listed on the prestigious Irish Echo 40 under 40 listing.
Each year, our editors select two score of Irish America's young guns to grace the 40 under 40 roll of honour, with honourees coming from right across the United States.
With nominations closing on 1 December, just days remain to nominate the best and the brightest of Irish America. The hugely popular event is a celebration of Irish and Irish Americans who have distinguished themselves in their respective fields of work before reaching the age of forty.

In 2020, the 40 gala just sneaked under the wire before Covid hit and in 2021 was held online only (see below) returning to its traditional haunt of Rosie O'Grady's in New York last year. Since 2008, 600 up-and-coming Irish Americans from every corner of the nation have been honoured.
