Awards are given at the local section level, and then advance to state competition. Winners at the state level are submitted to the Water Environment Federation for competition at the national level. Forms delivered to all committee chairs and local section awards chairs, and are available starting August 1st by contacting CWEA staff at (510) 382-7800, x120.

In order to ensure that your section has a smoothly-run banquet, be sure to:

• Plan early and contact staff with the date, location, and other meeting information of your banquet.
• Receive from staff the deadline to get plaques made in time for your banquet.
• Request a proof of insurance and/or notify staff if you will be playing music (for copyright purposes).
• Receive confirmation of which Board Officer is attending.
• Notify staff of any change of officers (for joint awards and installation banquets).
