NOMINATIONS FOR ASIAN STANDARD’S MOST INFLUENTIAL TO OPEN OCT 2026

The dictionary defines “influential” as having great influence on someone or something.

Our annual Most Influential List is one of the most anticipated features in our calendar — and it’s back for 2026!

The list is compiled from public nominations and from the outstanding work we’ve observed in the community, media, and beyond over the past year. The 2025 list set a high standard, and now we’re on the lookout for those making a real difference in 2026.

With your help we can recognise individuals who are using their voice, platform, or actions, whether in the community, in business, the workplace, or even at home, to create meaningful change and lasting impact.

Nominations for 2026 will open in October 2026. Stay updated and check back to make your nomination. Self nominations accepted.
