This fun program is postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We'll communicate when the program restarts later this year.

The Knope Award honors the top local government places.

In 2017, we honored the best city hall buildings.
In 2018, we honored the best libraries.
In 2019, we honored the best parks.

In 2020, we're recognizing the best police stations, fire stations, and public safety facilities!

The #ELGLKnope process starts with nominations. During the month of February, we accepted nominations and culled the list based on number of nominations, sincerity of nomination language, and ELGL membership.

During the month of March, we'll begin weekly bracket-style voting. ELGL members get extra chances to vote, and we'll use social media to also showcase the nominated facilities and highlight your community pride.
