Awards and Power Lists Nominations

City & State’s lists feature hundreds of notable New Yorkers each year, including government officials as well as movers and shakers who regularly interact with state and local government and are engaged in the political process.

HONORS: Awards lists include the 40 Under 40: Rising Stars, 50 Over 50: The Age Disruptors and the new 40 In Their 40s, as well as the exclusive Responsible 100 list that closes out the year. Additionally, the prestigious Above & Beyond awards this year will profile outstanding women, leaders in social services and minority and female entrepreneurs. 

POWER LISTS: In addition to the premier New York City Power 100 and Albany Power 100, City & State’s ranked power lists cover geographic areas as well as various professions, industries and sectors. The ranked Power of Diversity series spotlights exceptional women and Latinos in 2025, and Asian and Black Americans the following year.

TRAILBLAZERS: The Trailblazers lists cover many of the same categories and themes as the Power 100s, typically alternating every other year with a Power 100 of the same topic. These unranked lists provide more space for honorees who have not been on a Power 100, including deputy-level officials and others who lead up-and-coming organizations that merit recognition. 

WHO’S WHO: The Who’s Who series introduces the New Yorkers you need to know within specific job types and sectors. So far, this feature has covered Government Relations, Communications and Sports Betting, with a new Who's Who in Emerging Tech coming in early 2025.
