The nomination categories are:
- Water Quality and Watershed Restoration
- Climate Resilience and Sustainability

For more than three decades, the Best in Basin awards program has recognized property owners, contractors, architects, and planners whose work and investment set the standard for environmental design in the Tahoe Basin.

The awards are held every two years and alternate with the agency’s Lake Spirit Awards that recognize individuals who go above and beyond in their professional or personal lives to protect Lake Tahoe. Only projects completed between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2025, can be nominated. Winners will be selected by a panel of TRPA staff and other professionals for recognition at an event later this year.-
