The Strongest Town Contest is a celebration of communities that are putting their focus on town making practices that build resilience and prosperity. The Strongest Town Contest launched in 2016 to spotlight communities that are leading the way to a better future. Each round, a different aspect of participating communities, will be featured on the contest website, and the public will vote on which towns are best applying the Strong Towns approach to create a thriving place.
The contest began on Monday, Feb. 28, and concludes with the announcement of the 2022 champion on Friday, April 8. Voting is open to anyone and first round voting closes at noon on Friday, March 3. Only one vote is allowed per match.
