2026 New Jersey Innovation Awards Public Voting

2026 Public Voting: New Jersey Social Innovations Awards

The 2026 New Jersey Social Innovations Awards celebrates New Jersey Social Innovators. These awards honor our region’s most passionate social innovators, entrepreneurs and changemakers whose work and social impact too often goes unacknowledged, yet their efforts are what makes our communities a thriving region of innovation and opportunity. The theme of the awards, “Achieving a More Just Society,” recognizes organic leadership who re-envision the challenges that communities face and who find innovative solutions to reshape communities. We need to recognize the social innovators who create change through innovative programs, policies, and by revolutionizing realities to bring us all forward to a more accessible and inclusive tomorrow -- today.
