Padilla has been named the Audience Honor winner with Hennepin County in the Responsible Consumption & Production category at the Shorty Impact Awards.  

The Shorty Impact Awards are dedicated to honoring the best work with a positive social impact. Padilla was shortlisted – and then recognized during public voting for its Trash or Cash campaign to help Hennepin County residents waste less food.  

“As we celebrate our 10th year, the Decade Forward theme was set as a call to action to drive the next decade of impact,” said Junmian Sun, managing director of the Shorty Awards. “Being shortlisted this year reflects not just creativity, but a commitment to build sustained impact.”
