The Green Building Alliance in Pittsburgh is now accepting nominations for its Emerald Awards to recognize local people, projects and initiatives that drive the creation of healthy, high- performing places for everyone and that inspire sustainability in all its forms.  The deadline for nominations is April 26.

Award categories include--

-- Person: Someone who, no matter where they are in their career path, has done something that would not have happened without their advocacy. Someone who exhibits bravery, boldness, and persistence in creating green buildings and other sustainable places.

-- Project: Built environment projects of any size (in operation preferred) that have or will raise the bar, put the project and our region on the national stage, or approach a sustainability goal in an innovative way.

-- Initiative: Thoughtful engagement initiatives, programs, or collaborations that emphasize the importance of process, ensure an inclusive approach, and positively impact a diverse set of stakeholders.

Award winners will be recognized at the Emerald Evening dinner on September 21 at the August Wilson Center in Pittsburgh.
