Update: Awards Applications Closed & 2025 Awards Ceremony Moved to October
[Minneapolis, May 13th 2025]
Dear Community, Colleagues and Applicants,
We want to thank everyone who submitted nominations and applications for this year’s 2025 MFESTS Awards. The application period is now officially closed, and we are truly inspired by the outstanding talent and dedication showcased in these applications across our community.
We also wish to share an important update: the Awards Ceremony, originally planned for May, will now be held in October. This change comes as our annual budget was only recently approved, and we simply won’t have the time needed to coordinate the full-scale event we had envisioned for spring.
Instead, we are planning a smaller, more intimate celebration in October, where we will recognize this year’s awardees. Looking ahead, we are excited to return to a larger, flagship Awards Ceremony in February 2026 during National Engineers Week, aligning with our long-term vision for honoring outstanding contributions in STEM across Minnesota.
More details about the October event will be shared in the coming months. In the meantime, thank you for your continued support of our awards program and our mission to celebrate STEM excellence.
For more information on nomination criteria, submission guidelines, and deadlines, please visit the Awards Information Page.
