Nominations are open for the Asian Standard Most Influential List 2025.
Each year, our Most Influential List sparks conversation and questions , so we’re setting out the criteria clearly.
Hear from our Editor, Fatima Patel, who explains what we mean by influence, how nominations are assessed, and what we’re specifically looking for in 2025.
Influence isn’t about popularity or charity alone, it’s about impact, change and what was achieved in 2025.
We are looking for nominations from Bradford, Leeds, Kirklees, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Sunderland, South Shields, Tyneside, Gateshead, Durham, Darlington, Hartlepool and London.
Email your nominations directly to [email protected] or visit www.asianstandard.co.uk/influentiallist for more information. Good Luck!
