The All-America City Award is given by the National Civic League annually to ten cities in the United States.
The oldest community recognition program in the nation, the award recognizes communities whose citizens work together to identify and tackle community-wide challenges and achieve uncommon results.
Since the program's inception in 1949, more than 600 communities have been named All-America Cities.[1] Each year, interested communities submit a comprehensive package based on published criteria that are evaluated in the award selection process.[2][3] Deserving communities are named as finalists, and the year's ten award winners are named from that pool of applicants.[4]
