2007 AEP Awards Nominations
Brochure - nominations due February 21
AEP has been
recognizing the best work efforts of agencies and professionals for
more than 20 years. Some award winning documents included hundreds of
pages, and others were single page brochures that clearly and
accurately described how citizens could provide public input to the
planning process. Some awards have been given to projects that cover
thousands of acres in several counties, while others focused on the
design review of a few hundred feet of sound walls. Early documents
were submitted on paper, but today AEP receives submission in
multimedia and digital formats. It is interesting to note that past
and current awards have the same thing in common: all the
award-winners have most assuredly advanced the state-of-the-art in
developing analysis and presenting documents for professionals and
improved our awareness of good environmental planning efforts. To
this end, we congratulate all documents submitted for review this year
and take pride in recognizing the selection of the award winners.
