The SEMA Gen-3 Innovator Award winner will be honored at the 2012 SEMA Show Banquet, which takes place on the evening of Thursday, November 1, 2012.

SEMA is seeking nominations to recognize a young individual from the industry who is making breakthroughs in the areas of new products, new approaches to business or setting new trends. These nominations will be used to select the first-ever SEMA Gen-3 Innovator Award.

The winning candidate may be the first to act on a new trend or to invent an original product people did not yet know they needed. Or, working independently, to devise and implement stellar ideas that better suit the changing marketplace of the new millennium. Whatever the case, the Gen-3 Innovator will be young—less than 40 years of age as of December 31, 2012.

If you know someone who exhibits the same pioneering spirit as the original first-generation industry founders, please tell us about the person you think deserves a moment in the spotlight (self nominations are also encouraged).

The SEMA Gen-3 Innovator Award winner will be honored at the 2012 SEMA Show Banquet, which takes place on the evening of Thursday, November 1, 2012. All nominees will be invited, along with a guest, to attend and participate in the banquet.

Please submit your SEMA Gen-3 Innovator Award nomination form prior to close of business Wednesday, October 10, at 5:00 p.m. (PDT).
