[2006 ossa award nominations]
The OSSA Awards recognize outstanding social and environmental efforts across the many and diverse style and design industries that help us all "look fabulous, live well and do good". The OSSAs are designed to showcase the amount and breadth of sustainability efforts underway in style industries, as well as foster cross-industry awareness and inspiration as they are one of the few places where stylemakers, community organizations, businesses and government come together to celebrate the many ways we can make positive change in the world as we express ourselves in our individual style choices. Above all, the OSSAs provide incredible role models for us all to look up to.
Nominations are accepted throughout each calendar year, and are sent to SSF by our members. That's right; you have to be a member to nominate your favorite company or organization for an OSSA Award. Want to nominate someone for a 2006 OSSA Award? Click here for more information on SSF annual membership.
The award ceremony is held each year in April to coincide with the many Earth Day celebrations taking place around the world.
