HQN is delighted to announce the return of Housing’s Next Generation – the annual competition designed to showcase and celebrate the brightest young talent working in housing.
Entries for the 2024 competition are open now and we’re calling on housing associations, local authorities, ALMOs and other relevant organisations to get involved.
Housing’s Next Generation is about giving young housing professionals a voice – to share their thoughts and ideas and help shape the future direction of the sector.
We’re specifically looking for people from a diverse range of backgrounds who can bring fresh thinking to the challenges faced by housing organisations, our communities, and the residents we serve.
Anyone nominated for the competition will automatically be invited to our Next Generation Hub, a new exciting group of young housing professionals in the sector that meet regularly to network, hear from key speakers and peer to peer support. The group also get discounts on all HQN events and training as well as exclusive free spaces to some of our workshops across the year.
Simply fill out the entry form and we will reveal the shortlisted entries in April.
To enter your candidate, we need:
- Name
- Age (the candidate has to be under 30 before entering)
- Organisation
- Job Title
- Image
- Reasons for why they should be in the competition.
Once a nomination has been received an email will be sent to the candidate to complete a question that will be used alongside the nomination form to select those that will go through to the next stage.
The deadline for nominating is midnight on 14th April 2024.
