In 2010, the scheme will give a range of Special Awards, Awards and Commendations. Special Award and Award winners receive a plaque for permanent display at the site of the winning project and those involved in the project receive certificates. Certificates are also given for projects that achieve a Commendation.
Awards are given to projects that make an outstanding contribution to the quality and appearance of the environment, and are of benefit to the local community.
Commendations are given to projects that do not reach the required standard for an Award; however, the project has demonstrated a significant contribution to the quality and appearance of the environment and have a positive impact on the local community.
National Panel Special Recognition is given to projects that have been recognised for their strong community initiative and positive impact on the people they serve.
All Award level winning schemes are automatically considered for the Special Awards categories.
