 35 UNDER 35 YOUNG PROFESSIONAL AWARDS


SRQ Magazine’s 35 Under 35 Competition celebrates the dynamic young professionals who are shaping the future of the Gulf Coast. Now in its fifth year, this annual program recognizes innovators, entrepreneurs, scientists, creatives, advocates, and changemakers—each under the age of 35—who are making a measurable impact in their industries and communities. Whether through leadership in the workplace, meaningful nonprofit involvement, or bold contributions to the region’s growth, these emerging leaders reflect the energy, ingenuity, and vision driving our community forward. Nominations are open to the public, and honorees are selected based on specific achievements that showcase influence, initiative, and a commitment to making a difference.

 


 

Do you know a young professional making a difference?


Spotlight a rising leader whose achievements deserve recognition, whether in the workplace, on a nonprofit board, through public service, or in volunteer and philanthropic efforts. Nominees can represent any industry, including law, finance, healthcare, tech, real estate, education, hospitality, and more. What matters most is the impact they’re making and the momentum they’re building for the future.

Nominate someone below and shine a light on the leaders who are just getting started.


Tenacity. Innovation. Grit. Kindness. Influence.


We’re looking for individuals with specific, dedicated accomplishments that show what leadership in action looks like—at any scale. This year’s honorees will join a growing network of changemakers committed to building a brighter, stronger Gulf Coast. Those selected for the 2025 SRQ MEDIA 35 Under 35 Awards will be honored in the February 2026 edition of SRQ Magazine in a special awards section. Thank you for your time and appreciation of the young professional defining the future of the Gulf Coast!
