  • By celebrating all kinds of teens in a positive, encouraging and highly visible format, we will encourage mutual respect and eliminate bullying among teens... because "different" is now the new cool.

  • Here's How The Verge Awards® Work

    This will be the process in every state!

    Contests start with FREE local, online preliminaries

    All teens, regardless of income or geography, can participate. Students simply upload their entries to their local online preliminaries.

    Schools and entire communities rally and vote

    Judges and the voting public determine who win prizes and advance to live state championships.

    Social media explodes with viral sharing!

    Every entry receives its own unique URL that can easily be shared via social media.

    Finalists perform/present at the LIVE statewide championships!

    Every state in the nation has its own live state championship and day-long celebration, crowning the state champs who will advance to regional and national championships!

  • Our first stop: CONNECTICUT!

    CT will be the first of many statewide championships in 2019!
