MPA’s Common Ground Celebration recognizes the process of community building, as well as outstanding projects and collaborative processes. Projects do not have to be completed to be eligible for recognition.

Emphasis is placed on collaboration that is atypical and falls outside of the normal day-to-day processes of our respective workplaces. Identifying stakeholders, inviting broad participation, finding new ways to address challenges, and developing workable solutions are all criteria that will be used to evaluate entries.

Each nomination should include, to the maximum extent possible, the government and public participants, organizations that participated, and citizen groups that participated. It is important that names of organizations and individuals are accurate and spelled correctly. Please also select the category you deem most appropriate for your nomination.

For questions or comments, please contact Michael Guymon Michael@mpaaz.org or Amber Smith at Amber@mpaaz.org
