Celebrating the 2025 hairy season

The Mo Awards

The Mo Awards is our way of saying thanks to the over 40,000 Canadians who changed the face of men's health in 2025.

The awards

This year marks the third year of The Mo Awards in Canada.

There are 13 award categories to celebrate Mo's all across the country — from community champions to grassroots groups and corporate change agents.

A total of 75 Mo's were shortlisted from over 160 submissions. Nominations were put forward by the team at Movember HQ and the Mo community, with a panel of judges selecting the shortlist based on a set criteria for each award.

These awards are a celebration of all the hard work that you all put in. We want to say a huge congratulations to all the nominees and winners. From all of us here at Movember, we’re just getting started in our mission to help men live healthier, happier and longer lives – thank you.

We look forward to celebrating an even more successful 2026.
