Winners will be announced at the Green Source DFW Awards Nov. 12, 2020, along with other specialty awards. 

With the pandemic likely to still be affecting social gatherings, the venue of the awards has not been determined.

“This year's award ceremony will be held, but we don’t know which format they will take yet,” said Wendel Withrow, Green Source DFW director. “So get those nominations in because the environmental heroes are needed now more than ever.”
