ARE YOU SET TO BE THE NEXT INNOVATOR IN ELECTRONICS?
EW BrightSparks sees Electronics Weekly highlight and celebrate some of the brightest and most talented young engineers in the UK today.
We are seeking out the most talented and brightest young engineers in the UK for the celebration of Electronics Weekly’s BrightSparks at next year’s prestigious Elektra Awards.
Could it be you? Or do you know someone who shows promise in their studies or early career stages? We welcome entries and nominations for engineers aged 18-30 who are already making a significant impact.
Participation is free, and all successful BrightSparks will be invited to the Elektra Awards.

Thank you to our judges
Note that we were particularly interested to hear from those who have, for example, applied electronics know-how in the field of sustainability and the environment, or started their own business, or participated in STEM activities… And we’d love as wide a range of applications as possible, whatever the individual’s background – help us show the diversity in engineering!
Inspiring the industry
Why are we doing this? Electronics Weekly believed that by celebrating the achievements of the most talented young people in the electronics world, we can play a significant role in inspiring and encouraging new entrants to the industry. This was particularly important in the context of the industry’s well-publicised skills gap and the efforts of the UK government and other organisations to encourage greater take-up in schools and universities of STEM and engineering-related subjects.
EW BrightSparks will also serve to inspire other newcomers to the sector or those interested in a career in electronics.
