Ingles Presents The Upstate's Top Teens

Do you know an amazing teen in the Upstate who deserves to be recognized?

Maybe they’re making a difference at school, giving back to their community, stepping up for their family, excelling in academics, sports, or the arts, or simply inspiring others through their kindness and leadership.

Now is the time to celebrate them!

Ingles Markets presents the 2026 Upstate’s Top Teens, in partnership with The Block, WSPA TV, and Livin’ Upstate SC, to honor outstanding young people between the ages of 13 and 18 who go above and beyond in their everyday lives.

We’re looking for teens right here in the Upstate who are making a real impact — whether through volunteer work, school achievements, leadership, creativity, perseverance, or acts of service that deserve the spotlight.

As a special reward, selected Top Teens will receive:

• a $250 Ingles Markets gift card
• a $250 VISA gift card

That’s a total of $500 in prizes to celebrate their hard work and dedication!

If you know a teen who is making a difference and deserves to be recognized, nominate them today. Help us shine a light on the next generation of leaders, changemakers, and community heroes across the Upstate!
