Chattanooga’s uncommon hostel The Crash Pad has been nominated for a HOSCARs award — Hostelworld’s international competition that celebrates hostels that “have done incredible things, in extraordinary circumstances.”

The Crash Pad has been nominated in the “The Eco-Warrior” category, which recognizes hostels that focus on efforts to protect the environment and promote sustainability. The spot received the nomination for its LEED Platinum status (the world’s first hostel to achieve this status, btw) + environmentally-friendly design and operations.

Folks can vote for The Crash Pad online — voting ends March 10.
