Washington, D.C.
-- EPA is now accepting applications for the
2010
WaterSense Partner of the Year awards. With water efficiency becoming a more
important aspect of green building each year, these awards showcase the
successes of the program's partners in increasing awareness and understanding of
the WaterSense brand and label.
The WaterSense
Partner of the Year awards recognize program partners in four primary categories
(manufacturer, irrigation partner, retailer/distributor, and promotional
partners), based on their demonstrated accomplishments promoting water-efficient
products and practices in 2009. Depending on the applicant pool, WaterSense may
recognize multiple award winners in any category.
Applicants must
be WaterSense partners in good standing, and award applications must be
postmarked or submitted by April 9, 2010, to be considered. Winners will be
formally recognized at the WaterSmart Innovations Conference and Expo in Las
Vegas, Nevada, October 6 to 8, 2010. Additional information and application
materials are available on the
WaterSense
Web site.
