CSAC’s Annual Challenge Awards recognize the innovative and
creative spirit of our California Counties as they find new,
effective and cost-saving ways to provide programs and services
to their citizens. This is a wonderful opportunity to spotlight
your county’s best practices while recognizing staff for
developing innovations in county government.
Awards are presented in a variety of population and issue
categories. Entrance into the awards typically takes place each
summer with an announcement of the award recipients in the fall.
The 2024 Challenge Awards submission period is now open. The
deadline to submit is September 27, 2024.
Submit an entry.
