EVENT DESCRIPTION

The SVS Awards Ceremony is an annual event attended by planners, architects, urban designers, developers, and elected officials that provides an opportunity to celebrate achievements in urban planning. This event is the culmination of the annual SVS Awards Program, which aims to encourage quality in planning practices and increase the public’s awareness of good planning through recognizing outstanding planning achievements.

Projects that have been awarded in the past have highlighted community-informed economic development; long-term demonstration of and commitment to civic leadership; regional efforts to foster environmental stewardship; building community through fostering the unique diversity and culture of a place; and centering equity, health, and sustainability when planning communities. Through our emerging planner and legacy awards, we have also honored and recognized individuals who have demonstrated leadership, innovation, and commitment to serving their communities. 

We are so excited to celebrate the great work happening in the Sacramento Valley Section, and we hope you can join us!
