Learn more about the 2022 Community Leader Project Award Finalists

USGBC National Capital Region is pleased to announce our 2022 Project Award finalists. Our Community Leader Awards promote and recognize excellence in sustainable design, environmental stewardship, and community impact and highlight the green building initiatives and achievements of local projects, businesses, and individual leaders. Given in several categories, our Project Awards honor innovative, high-performance projects that are leading the way to a greener tomorrow for all in the DMV region.

Winners will be announced at our 21st annual A Midsummer Night's Green celebration, which returns to an in-person format this year and will take place July 21 from 6-9 pm at the Arena Stage in Washington, DC. The evening will include an awards ceremony and a networking reception where attendees can (re)connect with friends and industry leaders from across the DC area green building community while enjoying drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Guests will have the opportunity to vote to determine the winner of our People's Choice Award. Watch for news in the coming weeks for more on nominees for this award!

We hope you can join us as we recognize and honor our winners, and all our finalists! You can learn more about the event and register here.
