The All-America City Award is given by the National Civic League annually to ten cities in the United States.
The award is the oldest community recognition program in the nation and recognizes communities whose citizens work together to identify and tackle community-wide challenges and achieve uncommon results. The All-America City logo is a registered trademark.
Since the program's inception in 1949, more than 4,000 communities have competed and roughly 466 have been named All-America Cities.
