2026 Montgomery Awards


We invite you to submit a nomination for a 2026 Montgomery Award! The Montgomery Awards Program is a prestigious annual program that promotes outstanding design, innovative planning, environmental stewardship, and leadership and advocacy in Montgomery County. Since 1967, we have presented 251 awards that acknowledge the exceptional vision and commitment of communities, organizations, and professionals. All of our winners have enhanced our communities and contributed significantly to our great county.


We welcome you to become part of this distinguished legacy by submitting a nomination for a 2026 Montgomery Award. We are looking for the best in planning, design, environmental stewardship, and advocacy in Montgomery County. Nominate a land development project for a Montgomery Award or a person or organization with significant contributions to advancing planning in Montgomery County for a Charles J. Tornetta Planning Advocate Award, which is given in honor of Charlie Tornetta, who inspired planning excellence and served Montgomery County for over half of his life as a leader and member of the Montgomery County Planning Commission Board.


We are again partnering with the Montgomery County Conservation District to offer an Environmental Stewardship Award as part of the Montgomery Awards Program. Nominate a project, completed in the past three years, that exemplifies the practices of environmental stewardship and conservation for water and soil quality.


All entries may be submitted online or by mail. The deadline for nominations is the end of day on May 29, 2026.
