This awards program annually recognizes and honors both individuals and organizations that have undertaken the risks of innovation, served as pioneers in their fields, and have helped to improve air quality. The program is open to both public and private entities in the United States. EPA accepts entries in five award categories and two special award categories:
- Clean Air Technology
- Community Action
- Education/Outreach
- Regulatory/Policy Innovations
- Transportation Efficiency Innovations
The first special award recognizes up to one individual for outstanding achievement. In addition, the Clean Air Excellence Awards committee may award recognition to an outstanding project or program that has achieved environmental excellence in more than one of the five general award categories.
Entries are judged using both general criteria and criteria specific to each category. The program is open to both public and private entities in the United States.
Entries must be postmarked by September 25, 2009. Please feel free to submit an application, and to duplicate the application for others who may be interested. Entry forms may be accessed via the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/air/caaac/clean_award.html.
