The APA Los Angeles Planning Awards celebrate the courageous work of our members in the face of last year’s historic events that shifted fundamentally for planners of color what it takes to be a professional planner.  We are seeking applications that demonstrate the power of great planning and strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups, areas of practice, and projects. Award submissions are evaluated by a jury of experienced planning professionals, and recipients are recognized through our communications platform. Our Awards Program shines the light on organizations, movements, and individuals helping communities in our diverse county heal and thrive.
