The Indiana Department of Environmental Management has extended the deadline to submit nominations for the 2023 Governor’s Awards for Environmental Excellence. The awards acknowledge organizations that take steps and adopt projects that positively impact Indiana’s environment.
The deadline to nominate is now March 17.
IDEM says citizens, government agencies, businesses, organizations, and educational institutions are invited to submit nominations.
Nominated projects must have occurred in Indiana and been implemented in 2021 or 2022. The projects must demonstrate measurable environmental, economic, and social benefits.
“It is always an honor for IDEM to recognize these outstanding Hoosiers who are choosing to go above and beyond to make a difference in Indiana’s environment,” said Commissioner Brian Rockensuess. “I encourage Hoosiers to submit their applications for their innovative projects, and I look forward to celebrating this year’s honorees and their many contributions to our state.”
Awards are presented in seven categories:
Energy Efficiency/Renewable Resources; Environmental Education/Outreach; Five Year Continuous Improvement; Greening the Government; Land Use/Conservation; Pollution Prevention; and, Recycling/Reuse.
Awards will be presented in September. IDEM says a panel of conservation, environmental, and academic professionals review nominations.
