10 Under 20 Awards

Celebrating the work of young entrepreneurs who are working to solve environmental and food insecurity problems locally and globally.

In 2020, Hormel Foods, a global branded food company, celebrated the efforts of remarkable youth throughout the United States. Young entrepreneurs who are working to create a better world by designing innovative ways for a more transparent, secure and sustainable food system. The company developed an awards program to recognize 10 young individuals for their contributions and the “10 under 20 Food Heroes Awards” was launched. 

We are eager to build on the success of this program and open up the nominations for the next cohort of young entrepreneurs. It has been uplifting to see the impact that the winners have had over the past few years, and their commitments to food insecurity and food justice. We can’t wait to see who’s next and continue on this journey to inspire and rally new generations to be a force for good. Please consider submitting a nomination for the next cohort of 10 under 20 winners.
