Eligibility: Any city or county government project in the United States substantially completed over the preceding 18 months is eligible.
Projects can encompass virtually any aspect of city or county government, including — but not limited to — water supply, streets and highways, parks and recreation, wastewater collection and treatment, public finance, public transportation, stormwater and flood control, technology, solid waste collection and treatment, public safety, management, building maintenance and construction, and grounds maintenance. There are no restrictions on who can submit a nomination.
Projects will be judged on uniqueness, short- and long-term value to the community and effective/innovative financing. Nominations for the 2024 Crown Communities awards are now open. Deadline for submissions is Dec. 2, 2024. The winning projects will be profiled on American City & County’s website.
There are three steps to prepare the nomination that you will submit:
1. Identify the community, its population and the person nominating the project.
2. Describe the project, costs, financing, agencies and companies involved and when the project was completed.
3. Explain, in less than 1,500 words, why the project was needed, how it was completed and the results. If appropriate, send other supporting material, including newspaper or magazine articles, and photographs to [email protected]. The material will not be returned.
