LA Times Studios is excited to announce the 2026 Entertainment Industry Business Visionaries nomination opportunity. We invite professionals and organizations who provide financial, strategic, or professional advisory services to the entertainment industry.
Entertainment industry executives, private equity/venture capital investors, bankers, lenders, and wealth management advisors, as well as professional services advisors—such as lawyers, accountants, and business managers—who focus on the entertainment sector can be nominated to showcase how they are impacting change in this creative field.
The list of visionaries will publish on June 16, 2026 as part of The Envelope magazine, the preeminent source of entertainment news for professional and industry leaders across the country with more reach than The Hollywood Reporter and Variety. The Envelope appears in print and online with direct distribution to the producers and directors guilds.
We invite you to nominate remarkable individuals for consideration. The LA Times Studios executive committee will profile select individuals for their successes and accomplishments based on the following criteria:
- Noteworthy successes and accomplishments during the last 12-24 months
- Consistent demonstration of strong leadership throughout his/her career
- Long- and short-term impact he/she has made to their organization’s and/or the industry’s growth
- Community involvement and board memberships that showcase the nominee’s leadership beyond their organization
There is no cost associated with submitting nominations. However, due to limited space, we can only profile three individuals from each organization.
For issues with a submission, please email Karren Adamyan or contact by phone at (626) 347-8673.

Please note that LA Times Studios staff will NOT be able to make corrections or revisions to the nomination form once submitted.
