The mission of the Community Improvement Award program is to help Winter Haven
promote a beautiful community by recognizing community members who encourage and
participate in the strengthening of community aesthetics and good property
maintenance. The Community Improvement Award program was established in 2001 to
recognize those who make significant efforts toward cleaning or beautifying
their small part of the world by:
- Landscaping Improvement
This category focuses on the front yard and landscape improvements. The
judging will emphasize year-round visual appeal and environmental
considerations.
- Structural Improvement
This category focuses on exterior structural improvements. Judging will
emphasize the overall visual effect of the structural improvements.
Any owner, or renter, of a residential property
located within the city limits of Winter Haven and visible by the general
public, can nominate themselves or someone else with an application.
Overall, we will be looking at the outside appearance of the structure and the
landscaping grounds of the yard, as seen from the street. Winners will be
selected based on the following criteria:
- Effort, rather than cost.
- Creativity and effort combined.
- Tasteful landscaping, including, but not
limited to, trees, shrubs, and flowers.
- The property must be well maintained.
The judging committee is typically comprised of
representatives from the following groups:
- Winter Haven Code Enforcement Division
- Winter Haven Community Development Division
- Leisure Services Department
- Keep Winter Haven Clean and Beautiful Awards
Awards
The Beautification Committee will be awarding the winners with the following
accolades:
- Public Announcement of Award.
- A certificate of appreciation presented
quarterly at the City Commission Meeting.
- A recognition sign to be placed in their
yard for a period of thirty days.
- A gift certificate from participating
businesses.
- Recognition on the City of Winter Haven
Website.
