The deadline for submissions to SUCCESS® Changemakers is June 21, 2024.
After nominations close on June 21, 2024, the SUCCESS® Leadership team will review all nominees to determine the final list. The top 100 (50 independent and 50 organizational) SUCCESS® Changemakers are chosen equitably, at the sole discretion of the SUCCESS® Leadership team, based on a range of criteria set forth by SUCCESS, including vision, leadership, impact and influence, innovation, and sustainable development goal action.
The 2024 SUCCESS® Changemakers finalists will be notified via email beginning on Aug. 1, 2024. The top 100 finalists will be announced on changemakers.success.com and SUCCESS.com, in the November/December 2024 Changemakers issue of SUCCESS magazine, and through our social media channels on Oct. 1, 2024.
The processing fee pays for SUCCESS’s internal costs in organizing and promoting the search as well as its honorees, including the time and resources spent evaluating the nominations, the costs to produce the recognition pieces in the magazine and online, and the time considerations for further content partnerships.

In addition to recognizing the finalists who are making a difference, this effort is also intended to alert the SUCCESS editorial staff to the impressive work of all nominees. All qualified nominees will receive a complimentary ticket to the exclusive 2024 SUCCESS® Changemakers Virtual Event, where they will access high-caliber relationships, connections, and opportunities to be recognized as an expert and industry leader. Nominees may also be considered for additional content engagements in 2025 and beyond, such as social media collaborations, podcast appearances, and bylined stories in the magazine and on SUCCESS.com.
Nominations require the submission of a high-resolution headshot or company logo (1MB or larger), information about your initiative and how it’s driving change, as well as contact information. The SUCCESS® Leadership team will evaluate all nominees based on vision, leadership, impact and influence, sustainability and innovation, and sustainable development goal action. Give concrete, detailed examples of how your initiative addresses all these points, along with how it is driving change and specific data (if available) that illustrates the impact your initiative has.
