River Action seeks nominations for the 25th Annual Eddy Awards, according to a news release.

Each year, River Action honors the best work on the Mississippi River. In 2024 the winners will be honored during Fish & Fire, River Action’s 40th anniversary celebration.

Awards are presented in six categories to those who have done extraordinary work on the Mississippi River and its riverfront, including its tributaries: Education (innovations, program, curriculum), Design (renovation, new buildings, livability), River Activity (recreation, relaxation), Arts (performance, written word, fine arts), Stewardship (environmental enhancement of the river), and Revitalization (commerce, business, industry).

Eddy Awards recognize individuals, organizations, corporations, schools, groups, and governments that went against the current to get things done and accomplished outstanding river activity or development – well-designed and environmentally responsible. River Action will announce the winners in April 2024.
