Arizona Forward presents the 34th Annual Environmental Excellence Awards program, held in partnership with SRP for the 13th consecutive year. Known as the “Academy Awards” of the environmental community, the event is Arizona’s oldest and most prominent competition of its kind. It spotlights distinguished projects that demonstrate a high level of environmental commitment and contribute to the state’s overall sustainability. The coveted Crescordia Award (a Greek term that means “To Grow in Harmony”) set standards for the exceptional physical, technical and social development of Arizona.
This prestigious program has grown significantly over the years and now encompasses seven broad categories, including:, buildings and structures, livable communities, site development and landscape, art in public places, environmental education/communication, energy and technology innovation and environmental stewardship (SRP Award).
Statewide submissions will now be accepted in two categories of this program – The Governor’s Award for Energy and Technology Innovation and Environmental Stewardship. The expanded geographic focus commemorates the association’s transition from Valley Forward to Arizona Forward in 2013.
The awards program features a museum-quality exhibit of finalist entries, a multi-media presentation and gourmet dinner, followed by a post-gala reception.
