City of Bozeman accepting nominations for ‘Beautification Projects’

The Bozeman Beautification Advisory Board is now accepting nominations for beautification projects of note within city limits during the past year. Nominations will be accepted from the general public through Friday, September 21st. Winners will be honored at the 2018 Bozeman Beautification Award Ceremony on Nov. 7th in the Baxter Hotel Ballroom.
A variety of beautification projects that have been completed within the Bozeman city limits will be considered. These projects include but are not limited to exciting residential design, neighborhood revitalization, new or improved commercial design, exceptional landscape, public art, and much more. There are many categories listed on the online nomination form as a reference but new categories are always welcome. Past winners include Wilson Residences, Larkspur Commons, and a unique “Little Library” designed and created by a local resident for their backyard.
The Bozeman Beautification Advisory Board has been recognizing outstanding beautification efforts undertaken by individuals, businesses, organizations, and service groups since 1997. Chair of the Board, Terry Quatraro says, “One of the goals of this board is to identify, investigate, and recommend community beautification projects to the City Commission. The response to these annual awards over the years has had a tremendously positive effect for our community. By recognizing meritorious efforts by groups and individuals within our city it helps us all have a sense of pride and respect for the beauty that surrounds us.”
