American City & County Awards


American City & County annually awards communities and individuals for their accomplishments. Governments that complete a project with long-term implications are eligible for our America’s Crown Communities Awards. Individual leadership is recognized in our Exemplary Public Servants of the Year awards, which combines our past Municipal Leader of the Year, Public Works Leader of the Year and County Leader of the Year awards.
