Become a fanThe Broward League of Cities is proud to announce the Broward’s Cities of Excellence Awards!
In its inaugural year, the awards serve to highlight the outstanding initiatives cities and their elected officials have implemented to improve the quality of life for their residents. The aim of the program is to spread awareness of successful projects and best practices so other cities may learn from each other and continue advancing Broward County.
The Broward’s Cities of Excellence Awards boasts three nomination categories:
The “Green Leaf Award” for eco-friendly and sustainable projects
The “Community Spirit Award” for the best special events program
The “Peacock Award” for best beautification project
A judging committee of Associate Members will select the top three finalist entries in each category based on the specified criteria. All awards will be judged on the following:
- Entries must be projects implemented during 2010.
