In response to the success of, and the feedback we received about, our annual Brownfield Renewal Awards, we are expanding the Awards Program. Beginning in 2012, there will be FIVE categories of Renewal Awards.
In addition to the original three categories:
Environmental impacts
Economic impacts
Social impacts
We have added two new categories:
Sustainability impacts
Brownfields for Energy/Brownfield to "Brightfield"
Renewal Award nominations can be submitted through Friday, June 15, 2012, culminating in the selection of five esteemed winners in October 2012. Awards will be presented to projects that represent the gold standard of development across the FIVE distinct industry spheres of influence
The Renewal Awards selection process will continue to be carried out by an independent panel of judges. The Awards program is supremely democratic, as any individual, group, company, organization, government body or agency is eligible to submit an application. These projects can encompass:
Private enterprise
Public facilities
Industrial reuse of a brownfields site
Environmental restoration.
We invite you to provide input on the characteristics that made your project so impactful, so difference-making. For your convenience, we've compiled a host of questions within each of the five categories. The insights you provide will duly assist the judges in selecting the Renewal Award winners. In order to be considered for a Brownfield Renewal Award, the brownfield redevelopment project MUST be completed by the date the application is submitted. We welcome your participation!
Please enter your name and contact information so we can contact you, if needed, regarding this nomination.
"The Brownfields Renewal Awards are open, truly impartial and recognize a wide variety of public, private and joint redevelopment efforts. Awarded every year and based upon technical merit, community benefit and creativity, these awards have become increasingly well recognized. As a juror, I very much enjoy the highly professional and fair analyses that go into every decision."
Barry F. Hersh Clinical Associate Professor New York University
