Midwest Leak 100 Leak Award 2025 Nominations
For nearly two decades, Midwest Leak has been a keeper of culture. Midwest Leak has been documenting the people, places, and passions shaping our city’s creative culture. From barbershops to boardrooms, open mics to community meetings we’ve always believed that every rose has a story.
Now, it’s time to give those stories their flowers.
The Leak Awards are more than an event. They’re a tradition of gratitude. A reminder that we bloom because others planted seeds before us.
✨ Be part of history in motion.
This next chapter continues our mission: to amplify joy, honor legacy, and recognize the individuals making the Midwest move.
Nominate someone who deserves their roses now.
We’re excited to announce that nominations for the Midwest Leak 100 Awards 2025 are officially open!
This year’s theme, History in Motion, honors those whose creativity, consistency, and community impact are changing the narrative for the next generation.
Each rose we give represents a story of purpose, persistence, and pride in the Midwest. Whether they move the culture through art, uplift wellness and entrepreneurship, or build bridges for others we want to celebrate them.
