4 Under 40 Awards

Harvey County 4 Under 40 Awards

At Emerge: Harvey County, we believe that it is important to recognize the accomplishments of young leaders in our community, so in 2022 we started the 4 Under 40 Awards.


The purpose of these awards is to recognize young adults who give of their time and talents to better the community around them. Winners are selected based on specific scoring criteria according to engagement, leadership, and service. Any young adult who lives and/or works in Harvey County between the ages of 18 and 40 is eligible to receive this award- they are not required to be a member of Emerge: Harvey County.


Nominations for the 2024 Harvey County 4 Under 40 Awards are now closed. This year’s top 8 finalists will be announced soon. We are looking forward to celebrating the top 8 and announcing the top 4 at the Emerge: Harvey County Annual Banquet on August 29th at Son Wray Ranch.
