are due June 12, 2020 at 5:00 p.m.
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. Nominations are due by Friday, June 12, 2020 at 5:00 p.m. 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 for a Chapter Award must have first applied at the local Section level where the project, plan or work occurred, unless the award is not offered at the Section level or the project is of significance in multiple Sections.

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.
