The nomination period opens in February/March of each year. Anyone may submit nominations. Please note that self-nominations will not be considered, and we require two letters of support. An entry form with the following information must be submitted for each nomination. Our agency evaluates all submissions, and a select group of nominations are judged and awarded by the Montgomery Award Committee, consisting of members from the Montgomery County Planning Commission Board. All entries become the property of the Montgomery County Planning Commission.
