About the list

The TIME100 Next list, which is now in its fifth year, was created to recognize leaders "who are not waiting long in life to make an impact" and are "not following the traditional power structures and pathways that have determined what influence looked like in the past."

This year, individuals were recognized in five different categories:

• Artists
• Phenoms
• Advocates
• Leaders
•  Innovators
