About the Awards Process
An EPA panel reviews each submitted application and selects the finalists, who are then notified by mid-March. Winners will then be presented with their awards at a ceremony to be held in San Francisco in mid-April.
Nominations Are Now Being Accepted »
Now is the time to submit a nomination for this year's Environmental Awards Program sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Pacific Southwest region.

We look forward to recognizing the dedicated people and groups who are working all across California, Arizona, Nevada, Hawaii, the Pacific Islands and tribal lands to protect public health and the environment. Please take a few moments to consider who you feel deserves such an award, and then submit an application online.
