Structure and outdoor space are considered equally important, as well as how the project visually affects the surrounding community. The Community Appearance Board will make the final selection of winners using a point scale established prior to the judging. The Board may choose not to award a winner in each category. The Community Appearance Board also reserves the right to combine and/or change award categories.
• Awards are provided to the property owner(s). Certificates are provided to the applicants.
