Vote for your favourite!
Watch videos of the nominees and vote. Voting closes on Friday, 21 May at 5:00 pm.
Ultimately, the decision rests with the jury, which has its own vision of the criteria but will, of course, take into account the preferences of the public.
These are the nominees:
Hester Schilt, because she is responding creatively to market developments to connect consumer and products.
Ben Flikweert & Miles Bühlmann, because of the incredibly impressive and fair goal that they're pursuing and wholly committed to.
Youri Timmermans, because he has the courage to make a difference in an industry where it's not easy to please everyone.
Vote for your favourite candidate now!
