Committee on the Environment

COTE is excited to launch a new COTE Network Spotlight Program and is seeking compelling examples of programs, initiatives, and advocacy efforts led by local, regional, or state COTE groups that have made a meaningful impact in advancing sustainable design excellence.

We want to hear from you! Share your stories HERE.

Submissions should highlight tangible results from programs implemented during calendar year 2025 and clearly demonstrate how these efforts align with one or more of the Framework for Design Excellence measures.

This initiative aims to elevate and amplify the impactful work of local COTE groups. Submissions will be featured throughout 2026 to showcase the breadth and depth of leadership across the country.

• Submitting takes ~20 minutes, and groups are encouraged to submit as many examples as they'd like.
• Deadline: December 31, 2025
• Submit via THIS FORM
