City Award Nominations Now Open
Honoring excellence in local government
The time has come to recognize great leaders and projects in Oregon’s cities. LOC members are invited to nominate cities who have made outstanding contributions to their city for one of the LOC’s awards for progressive and innovative city programs and projects.
This year we are opening city award nominations early because we’re going to be giving the city awards out during the Spring Conference instead of the annual conference, making this year’s Spring Conference that much more special!
Winners will be recognized at the 2025 LOC Spring Conference, scheduled for May 1-2 at the Mill Casino in North Bend. The deadline for submissions is Friday, April 4.
