ENR’s annual Regional Top Young Professionals program is now live. The contest profiles up-and-coming leaders in the design and construction industry. 

The article on each class of regional winners will appear in the first issues of the year for each of the respective ENR regional editions next year. 

You can find more information and submit your entries to the contest here. The deadline to submit is June 23, 2025.

For the second straight year, the format for selecting the 2025 Top Young Professionals in ENR has changed after a regional consolidation to improve content and coverage. The former ENR New York, ENR New England and ENR MidAtlantic magazines, newsletters and website content have now merged to form ENR East. Similarly, the former ENR Texas-Louisiana and ENR Southeast Regional editions have been combined as ENR Texas & Southeast.

Additionally, ENR Southwest and ENR Mountain States have combined into ENR Mountain States & Southwest, with coverage of Arizona and New Mexico being added to the existing Mountain States coverage area. Also, the ENR California and ENR Northwest editions have come together as ENR West, which also adds coverage of Nevada. Finally, ENR Midwest remains, but has added North Dakota and South Dakota to its coverage area.

Much will remain the same in the new format, with the reformed region continuing to publish six bimonthly print and digital magazines, a twice-monthly newsletter and region-specific digital content posted daily to new regional websites on ENR.com. ENR’s successful Best Projects competition and events and Top Firm rankings also will offer the same level of opportunity to showcase outstanding company work.

For the National Top 20 Under 40 contest, winners of Top Young Professionals will automatically be entered. No additional entry is required.
