Through SAMHSA’s Recovery Month Annual Event Award Program application, you can self-select your event for
award consideration.
All events must have been posted on the Recovery Month Web site by December 31, 2015, to be eligible.
(Previous award winners are not eligible to receive awards in consecutive years.)
