Meet Your 2021 USGBC National Capital Region People's Choice Award Nominees

On July 22, USGBC National Capital Region, Maryland, and Virginia will recognize the best of the best in local sustainable building at A Midsummer Night's Green. We will be announcing our Community Leader Project Award winners in up to eleven different categories. One category, however, stands out from the rest - our People's Choice Award! The winners of this prestigious award will be chosen by event attendee vote, and because A Midsummer Night's Green is a celebration of three local USGBC communities, three winners will be chosen - one for the National Capital Region, Maryland, and Virginia.

Check out the list below to see the inspiring projects nominated for this year's USGBC National Capital Region's People's Choice Award. You can also view our nominees for the Maryland here and Virginia here. Join us at A Midsummer Night's Green on July 22 to cast your votes and help decide the winners!
