The search is on for the 2025 Manhattan Power Women! Schneps Media invites you to nominate the remarkable women whose innovation, influence, and commitment make New York City an extraordinary place to live and work. For more than 30 years, Schneps Media, a proudly female-founded and family-run company, has been shining a spotlight on women whose leadership and dedication make a difference in their industries and communities. Through its signature Power Women Awards, Schneps Media honors those whose work inspires others, uplifts neighborhoods, and sets new standards for excellence. This year’s Manhattan Power Women Awards will take place on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at 630 Second, bringing together the city’s most dynamic and accomplished women across business, healthcare, media, education, finance, politics, and the nonprofit world. The evening begins with an exclusive VIP Power Hour networking reception for honorees, followed by cocktails, dinner, and an inspiring awards ceremony that has become one of the most anticipated celebrations of female leadership in New York. Being named a Manhattan Power Woman is about more than just recognition, it’s about visibility, community, and connection. Each honoree’s story is shared across Schneps Media’s influential platforms, including amNY, Dan’s Papers NYC, amnyLaw and Schneps’ expansive digital network, reaching millions of engaged readers throughout the region. “Visibility matters,” says Victoria Schneps, Founder and President of Schneps Media. “When we amplify women’s voices, we create opportunities not only for those being honored, but for the next generation watching and learning from their example. Our mission has always been to give women the platform they deserve, to be seen, heard, and celebrated.” “Our Power Women events are as much about building community as they are about celebrating success,” says Schneps. “The energy in the room is electric — women supporting women, cheering for one another’s achievements, and forming bonds that last for years.” The Power Women brand has grown into a movement across the metropolitan region, with events held in every borough and throughout Long Island and Westchester. The Manhattan edition remains one of the most prestigious, celebrating the incredible diversity, ambition, and creativity that define women leaders in the heart of the city. As Schneps Media looks back on more than three decades of honoring trailblazing women, the legacy of the Power Women Awards continues to evolve. What began as a celebration of local leadership has become a powerful network that spans industries, generations, and geography — connecting thousands of women who share a common goal: to make a difference. The 2025 Manhattan Power Women Awards will once again bring together these remarkable leaders for an evening of recognition, inspiration, and empowerment. It’s a celebration of women who lead with heart, vision, and purpose. Women who make New York not only stronger, but better. Congratulations to all those nominated. Your achievements, your voices, and your stories are what make this city shine. Schneps Media is proud to celebrate you and to continue its mission of uplifting the women who move New York forward.
