There are more than 333,600 association-governed communities in the United States. What sets your community apart from the crowd? Washington Metropolitan Chapter Community Associations Institute is looking for the communities that best represent common-interest community living, excel in two-way communications with residents, and think of others beyond the community's borders.

There are six awards. Four of the awards are based on community size:

• Very Large (1000+ units)
• Large (500-999 units)
• Medium (150-499 units)
• Small (1-149 units)

Winners in these four categories are not eligible to compete in the contest the following year. All communities are eligible to apply for the Communicator of the Year and/or Charitable Community of the Year awards every year.
