For more than 30 years, the APWA-MN Chapter has sponsored an annual Awards Program that recognizes excellence in public works. In addition, the chapter actively supports the APWA Awards Program with submissions to the annual National Awards Program. 

In 2024, APWA-MN Chapter projects and personnel received five National Awards and 11 Chapter Awards. Thanks to APWA-MN Communications Committee member Brandon Movall, a fantastic summary of all award winners is available below.
