Why Are We Looking?
Last year we brought you the TIME 100, the 100 most
influential people of the 20th century. Now we look to the future, and try to discover tomorrow's most influential individuals — the Next Wave, "The Next 100."
Who Are We Looking For?
Not the names we know already. Instead, we're in search of the up-and-comers — people like Michael Vaughn, the e-commerce wiz
who is transforming Sears, or Hollywood's Wachowski brothers, the
minds behind "The Matrix." Or even the guy down your street who's been
promising the next computer breakthrough or medical marvel.
What We Need From You
We need you to be our eyes and ears across the globe. Do you
work with an innovator or, maybe, live next-door to one? If so, e-mail us
the name of your nominee, explaining in 50 words or less why we should choose
him or her. Starting in July, TIME magazine and TIME.com will profile 5
or 6 pacesetters in 18 fields, from music to politics to culinary arts.
