The AMP Awards Program provides a great opportunity to draw attention to outstanding projects and
people in your community. This is one way to let your peers and community know about your hard
work and dedication.
AMP Annual Awards
Members can nominate themselves or others for the AMP Annual Awards. Award recipients are recognized at the AMP Annual Conference. After the conference, a news release will be sent to the local media of those communities that received awards.
Nominations for the 2023 AMP Annual Awards are closed. For next year's awards, nominations will be open in the late spring/early summer of 2024. Members can still submit nominations for the AMP Service Distinction Award as this award is given out year-round.
