Inspiring communities to see their place with fresh eyes.
On a national scale, the Strongest Town Contest redefines success—not by rapid growth, but by spotlighting towns that are becoming stronger through people-first planning and smart, incremental change.

The 2025 Strongest Town Contest reached an estimated 32 million people. The stories of the winning communities from 2024 and 2025 have reached more than a half a million people on YouTube alone.
