Beacon Awards Return for 2025

Hosted by Seven-time Emmy Award Winner Monica Morales, the Beacon Awards Recognize Young Leaders for Their Contributions to the United States and the World

On January 23, 2025, the 4th Annual Beacon Awards will be presented in New York City to young men and women who have shown exceptional abilities, vision, and achievement in their professional careers and personal passions. The most important criterion is that they are living and working in America with the goal of making the world a more equitable, compassionate and humane place. Honorees do not have to be American citizens, but they must be passionate about making a positive change in the world and show a humanitarian commitment to affect change.

The Beacon Awards shine a light on the brilliance, innovation, compassion, dedication, and creativity of one of the most diverse and dynamic generations in U.S. history. Our honorees are trailblazers across fields as varied as logistics, the military, journalism, biotechnology, and finance.
