Green Life Awards
This year, we have opted to discontinue the Green Life Expo.
If you are an Athens sustainability organization, we do plan on hosting the Green Life Awards as usual! Tentatively mark April 22, 2021 on your calendars. We will have a virtual awards program co-hosted by Terrapin Beer Company and a outdoors, socially distanced happy hour to celebrate and provide for the pick up of the physical awards. The ACC awards have set a deadline of March first for our award nominations.
The student art competition submissions will be due March 1st with a virtual awards ceremony on April 15, 2021 (entry form)! We will create a digital display and booklet for the winners.
