Nominations are still open for The Sprudge Twenty 2026 class, presented by Pacific Barista Series. Our open nomination process is coming to an end Sunday, April 19. There’s still some time left to submit your nominations – but not much!
This annual initiative to honor and amplify extraordinary figures in the specialty coffee community is now in its eighth cohort, presented in partnership with Pacific Barista series. Sprudge Twenty is dedicated to mentors and leaders, game changers and inspirations, baristas and farmers, traders and educators, entrepreneurs and original voices in coffee.
This is an open invitation to our global network of readers and partners: nominate people from your company or community who exemplify excellence, leadership and the future of coffee. Nominations can be submitted in any language, via an original essay, audio or video nomination, so there are no barriers to submitting – the entire process is open and free, in partnership with Pacific Barista Series.
Whether you’re nominating an established leader, an emerging voice, a mentor or an emerging individual, this is the perfect time to tell their story. We can’t wait to see all the nominations that come in for this year’s class. In the meantime, let’s look back at some of the previous activities.
