Southeast Texas Visionary Awards 2026

Southeast Texas, it's time to shine. The Southeast Texas Visionary Awards (SETVA) is Mont City Network's flagship live celebration — and on August 8, 2026, Beaumont becomes the stage for one of the region's most meaningful nights of recognition.

SETVA is built on a simple conviction: a healed individual becomes a ripple of change, and a recognized gift becomes a movement. This is not only a red carpet event. It is how we restore the pulse of our communities — Celebrate the Gift. Heal the Soul. Impact the Future.

SETVA exists to light that fire. This powerful weekend honors gifted individuals using their voices, art, and service to make a lasting difference in Southeast Texas and beyond.

The experience is designed around three pillars: Celebrate — honoring the visionaries shaping our communities; Elevate — spotlighting talent across arts, service, and leadership; and Unify — vivifying the 409, together.

The 2026 broadcast and in-person ceremony takes place August 8, 2026 at 5:00 PM in Beaumont, Texas, at the Jefferson Theatre — a landmark setting for a night built to honor excellence across business, arts, leadership, and community impact.

Mont City Network will carry the broadcast forward for audiences across the region and beyond, connecting Southeast Texas culture to a wider stage while keeping the heart of the story local.

“This isn't just a show. It's a seed. And every vote, every dollar, every voice helps this seed grow into something our youth and communities can thrive in. Thank you for walking with us.”

— Solomon and Tierrene' Ajao, Founders of SETVA
