About proclamations and other recognitions
NOTE: Requests made through this form are for recognitions by the City of Austin mayor, not the State of Texas and its governor. Go to the Office of the Texas Governor's I Need Assistance form to request proclamations from the State of Texas (select "Ceremonial Items" in the Issue field).
The City is pleased to recognize the people, programs, and events that make Austin unique by issuing proclamations and other recognitions.
