Nominations open on Tuesday 23 July and close on Monday 12 August.

Burnley.co.uk and Porsche Centre Preston return as a proud supporters of this highly anticipated annual spotlight on young talent.

Rachel Bayley, Burnley place brand manager, said: "Burnley.co.uk is delighted to once again support the Sub36 feature. Harnessing the next generation of talent has been a key theme for us for some time, including the launch of the Future Leaders Under 30s programme for Burnley Bondholders.

"It is essential that Lancashire encourages and supports the next wave of ambassadors, whether for a place or business, so our county and everyone in it can benefit and thrive. We're excited to read all of the submissions for judging and are delighted to join forces with Lancashire Business View to celebrate our young home-grown talent."
