Nominate your favorite green changemakers for SustainPHL

The “Green Oscars” are making their return IRL next month.

Who are the individuals, projects, non-profits, civic or government entities, and for-profit businesses that are advancing sustainability (including social impact or civic causes) in the greater Philadelphia area? We want to hear about these changemakers for the annual SustainPHL awards.

Nominations are accepted through September 10th. The nominees will be announced in mid-September, and the award recipients will be announced live at SustainPHL on October 20th, 2022. This year’s award ceremony will occur at the Academy of Natural Sciences.
