The application will take place in November and the winner will be announced in January. The Village of the Year will be awarded e.g. advertising video, roadside sign, memories of partners and visibility in the media.
- The selection of the Village of the Year and the Kyläkalaasi celebration in the winning village is the highlight of the year, and it is important to praise the village officials for the work done, reflects the village activator Tiina Västilä.
In recent years, there have been many good applications and it is nice to notice that the villages are active in many ways.
Päijät-Hämeen Village of the Year has been chosen since 1997, and the selection is made by a multidisciplinary committee assembled by Päijät-Hämeen Villages.
The Päijät-Häme Village of the Year in 2024 was Vesivehmaa from Asikkala and in 2023 the village of Tennilä-Voistion.
The application for Päijät-Hämeen Village of the Year 2025 is ongoing from 1 to 30.11.2024 November XNUMX. The application form can be found on the website of Päijät-Hämeen Village www.phkylat.fi.
