4th Annual sPARK Awards
Friday, September 18

Balboa Park Club
Balboa Park is the heart of San Diego. It is where people find community, learn about culture, history and science, and can escape to nature in the middle of one of the country’s largest cities. In keeping with Forever Balboa Park’s mission to improve and advance Balboa Park so people, nature and culture thrive together, the annual sPARK Awards celebrate innovative and inclusive projects and collaborations that help make this possible.
Together, we honor the work that reaches far beyond the Park’s 1,200 acres, strengthening our communities, improving access to the arts and culture, and helping steward Balboa Park’s environment.
The sPARK Awards inspire a sense of belonging, welcoming a wide range of nominees: individuals and organizations; nonprofit, public or private sector; and within or beyond the boundaries of Balboa Park. Award winners are selected after careful review of nominations by a volunteer Selection Committee with diverse knowledge, experience, and backgrounds, and a shared love for Balboa Park.
The award categories are: Uniting People, Sustaining Nature, and Celebrating Culture. Learn more about the categories here.
