... has made most progress in... over the past year

I don't think it's actually an award, is it? They're just saying this municipality has improved the most in that area.

Thanks, rosim.
neutral Václav Pinkava : have only heard "skokan roku" used with awards, as is the case with "of the year" in English

As you know, PR texts are littered with "nej... roku" [not as an award], even when they have nothing to back up their claims. If this were an award, it would be relatively easy to Google. But perhaps it is - only Igor can know (from the rest of the text).

win the LEAPFROG OF THE YEAR award

Leapfrog se říka anglicky tzv "voltům" přes záda, je to dětská zábava, kterou každý zná a dodržuje to slovní hříčku s žabkou.

Aby se to nepletlo s cenou americké firmy LeapFrog (LeapFrog Award), tak nazvat jak uvedeno "... of the year" případně pravopisem Leap-Frog, nebo dokonce Leap Frog.

Že jde přeneseně o význam "předběhnout skokem" tj "nejvýraznější zlepšení" dokládá leccos, např. https://twitter.com/joereden/status/433614478068830208
