Acorn Awards
What are the Acorn Awards?
Each year, The Acorn Awards will honor one large corporation and one small business, as
well as an individual and a group who benefit our “glocal” community by being good
environmental stewards, practicing sustainable development, conserving resources and
managing their efficient use, using best practices, reducing waste, or raising the awareness
of green issues. We celebrate the success of all the nominees, as well as our eventual first
annual Acorn Award winners.
An easy way to participate in the green revolution is by nominating a company or individual in one of these categories:
- The Acorn Award for Green Leadership to an Individual.
- The Acorn Award for Green Leadership to a non-profit Group.
- The Acorn Award for Green Leadership to a Small Corporation.
(It is anticipated the small companies will be recognized for being on the cutting edge in sustainability practices or creating innovative products.)
- The Acorn Award for Green Leadership to a Large Corporation
(It is anticipated that the bigger corporations will be recognized for making strides toward greening their business.)
Three finalists will be selected in each category. The Green Building will donate $1,000 to each winner’s Kentucky-based environmental non-profit organization of choice.
Nomination emails of 250 words or less (no letters please… for obvious reasons) should be
sent to Stephanie Brothers at:
