Annual Awards Program - Your Opportunity to Shine! 

"Receiving an Annual Award acted as a stimulus for recognizing our members for all of their time and dedication towards the Sister Cities Movement. We gained much desired recognition through our local community, " said a past Annual Award winner.

The Annual Awards Program highlights your sister city program's achievements and brings international recognition to your community's contributions to the citizen diplomacy movement.
