Townie Awards
The Townie Awards gala, or the Townies, is an annual dinner and awards ceremony wherein communities from across the commonwealth are recognized for noteworthy revitalization projects or events completed over the previous year.
Nominees for the awards must be PDC members in good standing, but may be nominated by any individual or entity. A specific community or individual may be nominated in more than one category. Historically, the much anticipated Townie Awards gala is a formal, black-tie optional event held on the Tuesday evening of our annual conference.
With ten categories and several sub-categories, receiving one of these awards is highly competitive and indeed a great honor. The 2010 Winners are listed below:
