The h.Club100 is an annual search for the most innovative and influential people working across the creative industries. Run by the Hospital Club, this year in partnership with the Culture Professionals Network, it has seen thousands of nominations for arts, culture and creative professionals pouring in over the past few months.
The judges have now whittled those names down to a 30-strong shortlist for each of its 10 categories. Over the next four weeks, we'll be revealing those shortlists – a total of 300 individuals – and inviting you to vote for who you think should make the final cut.
