2019 Awards Program Call for Nominations!
Nominations for this year’s APA California Awards Program are now being accepted. The Awards Committee encourages you to submit your outstanding project, program, plan or person for this year’s program. The timeline for nominations has been extended and are due by Friday, May 24, 2019 at 5:00 pm. If you have already submitted a nomination, you do not need to resubmit unless you would like to make changes to the original submittal. Any resubmittal by the new deadline will replace the original submission. Some nominations require a win at the Section level to be eligible for a Chapter award and many other award categories need not win a Section award to qualify. Nominations considering a Landmark or Pioneer Award are urged to contact one of the Chapter Historians before completing an application. Please refer to the APA California Chapter Awards Program Policy for more information.

Student Scholarship Awards
Each year the California Planning Foundation (CPF) invites planning students to compete for a number of scholarships. Scholarships are offered to students enrolled in eligible planning programs in California (both accredited and non-accredited programs). The scholarship awards are recognized at a special student awards luncheon, hosted by CPF, and held separate from the State Awards luncheon during the conference. Scholarship information is available on the CPF website.
