Apply Today and Celebrate Your County’s Most Innovative Programs

Applications are now open for the National Association of Counties (NACo) 2023 Achievement Awards! We invite you to join us in celebrating 53 years of county innovation by applying today.

Since 1970, the NACo Achievement Awards have recognized outstanding county government programs and services. Through a non-competitive application process, noteworthy programs receive awards in 18 categories that cover a vast range of county responsibilities.

By participating, your county can earn local and national recognition. Achievement Award winners have been featured in local media, in County News, and at NACo’s Annual Conference. Eighteen “best of category” winners will receive special recognition, and all winners will receive a customizable press release to share the good news.

We encourage all counties, parishes and boroughs to apply.
