2025 Rising Stars Awards

An initiative of Stay Work Play, in partnership with New Hampshire Public Radio and presented by Eversource NH, the Rising Stars Awards loudly and proudly celebrate New Hampshire’s remarkable young people and the employers who are changing the game.

Join us from 5:30 to 8:30pm, Thursday, October 16 at the stunning Venues at the Factory in Manchester. Prep an outfit that says "I show up AND show out,' and attend our can't-miss, signature annual event that will leave you feeling energized about the future of New Hampshire and inspired to recommit yourself towards making the Granite State a place where young people can THRIVE.

⚡ This year's theme: NEON NOSTALGIA ⚡

Channel the MTV VMA's from the 2000s, and wear that set that you haven't been able to break out yet...it's time to show off!

The Rising Stars Awards is more than a celebration of
remarkable young leaders in the 603 — it’s the night for YPs to shine. See you there.
