Have you worked on, or do you know of, a project that you believe embodies the spirit of Plan NH's mission? If so, please consider submitting it for the 2010 Merit Awards program.

Eligibility and Award Criteria

Projects must be located in NH and have been completed since 2005. The judging will be based on the project's fulfillment of the Mission of Plan NH, which is to enhance the built environment and improve the quality of life in New Hampshire by incorporating the principles of:

• Smart Growth;
• Sustainability;
• Social Responsibility; and
• Creative approaches to partnership and collaboration

Note: Although design is important, this is about the principles listed above. In addition, it is not a contest — we will recognize any project that meets the criteria.

All submissions are due no later than March 3, 2010. Qualified projects will be recognized at a dinner on March 31 at the Derryfield Country Club in Manchester. For complete application information, please click on 2010 Merit Awards call for entries in the upper right corner of this page.
