Congratulations to our 2024 Award Winners!
The APA California Awards Program aims to promote quality in planning and enhance public awareness of the planning profession by recognizing outstanding achievements in the field. This year, the Awards of Excellence and Awards of Merit for 2024 were selected by a distinguished jury of APA California peers, representing diverse planning fields and locations across the state. Local Sections first evaluated the submissions for state awards, making these selections truly exceptional.
We invite you to join us for the state awards ceremony at the annual Chapter conference in September, where we will recognize and celebrate the best in California planning. Congratulations to all of our award recipients! We are incredibly proud of your remarkable accomplishments!

Great Places in California Awards
The California Great Places Program was active from 2015 to 2019 to recognize places that exemplified character, quality, and excellent planning. A Great Place may be found anywhere – from a large city to a rural community, a vibrant downtown, a historic town, a public park, or a preserved open space.
