The Best and Brightest Young Georgians

Shannon Wilder,

Once again it's time to recognize the cream of one of Georgia's most valuable crops: bright young people.

Indeed, the number of nominations this year was far and above that of previous years, making the task of narrowing the list down to just 40 tougher than ever.
