Calhoun County, AL —Time is running out to recognize the most visually impressive homes and businesses across Calhoun County. The Calhoun County Beautification Board (CCBB) is reminding residents that the nomination period for the Annual Beautification Awards will close on May 31, 2024.
This long-standing tradition honors properties that showcase exceptional landscaping, thoughtful design, and a strong sense of community pride. Nominations are open to all residents who wish to highlight homes, businesses, churches, schools, and other properties that make Calhoun County a more beautiful place to live, work, and visit.
Each of the county’s Commission Districts will have two awards—one for Commercial/Civic properties (such as churches, schools, motels, and restaurants) and one for Residential properties (including single-family homes and multi-family dwellings like apartments or condominiums).
To be eligible, properties must have been maintained and landscaped within the past year. Judging will be based on two key criteria:
-
Appearance: Properties should exhibit a well-groomed, distinctive, and cohesive look.
-
Landscape Design: Judges will evaluate how plantings relate to the structure, the creative use of terrain, and how the design blends with the natural surroundings.
With the nomination deadline quickly approaching, residents are encouraged to act now to recognize neighbors, local businesses, or their own properties for outstanding beautification efforts.
Completed nomination forms should be submitted by mail or in person to:
CCBB Beautification Awards
Alabama Cooperative Extension System
1702 Noble Street, Suite 108
Anniston, AL 36201
Winners will be announced in mid-June. Whether it’s a flower-filled front yard or a meticulously maintained civic space, now is the time to shine a spotlight on those making a difference—one landscape at a time.
