Los Angeles 40 Under 40

Overview

Los Angeles Business Journal’s ‘Los Angeles 40 Under 40’ recognizes young professionals and rising community leaders in the Los Angeles area who have demonstrated strong career achievement and community impact. It is run by the Los Angeles Business Journal, a regional business publication, and the program is typically positioned as an editorially curated honor rather than a pure pay-to-play list, which adds credibility for employers and nominees seeking local recognition and visibility.

Eligibility Requirements

• Nominee should be a rising professional/leader in the Los Angeles area
• Typically intended for individuals under 40 (the program is age-based)
• Nominations for the 2026 cycle are submitted through the Los Angeles Business Journal nomination portal
