The deadline for consideration for the 2010 awards is January 31, 2010. However, award submissions will now be accepted year-round. Awards submitted after January 31, 2010 will be held and considered in the 2011 award cycle.

APPA's Effective & Innovative Practices Award recognizes programs and processes that enhance service delivery, lower costs, increase productivity, improve customer service, generate revenue, or otherwise benefit the educational institution. Entries can describe either a new program or significant restructuring of an existing program or process.

Projects displaying a high-level of innovation and adaptability/transferrability for implementation at other schools have the best chance of being favorably ranked.

Up to five ranked submissions will be eligible for a cash award of $4,000, thanks to the generous sponsorship provided by Sodexo. Winning entries will receive special recognition at APPA's annual conference and in Facilities Manager magazine.

Entries are judged on a point system based on:

• Institutional Benefit (100 pts)
• Innovative, Creativity, and Originality (300 pts)
• Portability and Sustainability (300 pts)
• Management Commitment and Employee Involvement (150 pts)
• Documentation, Analysis, Customer Input, and Benchmarking (150 pts)
