GEM, Guyana’s premier lifestyle and entertainment magazine since 2004, will be revealing shortly its much anticipated 4th annual list of professionals under the age of 40. The goal of the magazine which is to target progressive people, said as with previous lists, the make-up consists of top career oriented individuals, entrepreneurs and other influencers with varying backgrounds. 
Making the cut this year was a Deputy Mayor, a Member of Parliament, webmasters, dentists, event planners, media and marketing executives, comedians, an international model, and inspirational speaker and representatives from many other industries. The thirty-nine individuals chosen who also grace the cover were selected from a list derived from the magazine’s team, voluntary submissions and recommendations from clients and readers.
As has become the norm, nearly one hundred names were available to choose from, and this created some difficulty in deciding on the standouts, since the aim was to be as inclusive and as diverse as possible.The 74th edition of the magazine also has features on the Georgetown Chamber, Designer Roger Gary’s famous Aqua Couture collection, the Rupununi Wildlife Research Unit and much more.
In addition, readers can expect to see all the usual articles that they have grown accustomed to reading over the years.
GEM, which was launched nearly 13 years ago as the nation’s first bi-monthly international glossy magazine, has managed to maintain its concept of transcending race, politics, religion and class to positively highlight people, places and events at home and in the Diaspora. This is done through easy to read human interest stories, trendy articles and high quality pictures.The magazine which has grown tremendously in popularity has a large list of newsstand buyers and subscribers in the Caribbean, North America and Europe. The publication can also be read online at www.gemmagonline.com or www.issuu.com/cmgguyana, and it is also quite active on social media.
