SEA ISLE CITY – Each fall, the Sea Isle City Environmental Commission presents Beautification Awards to local property owners who have improved or enhanced the exteriors of their homes or businesses. While determining who should receive the yearly awards, Environmental Commission members examine a variety of exterior improvements made by local property owners, including the addition of new landscaping and updated architecture. They also consider all other beautification efforts, such as adding much-needed paint to older homes or clearing overgrown, unsightly shrubs and gardens.
In order to be eligible for a Beautification Award, a property must be nominated by submitting an official application form to the Environmental Commission. Anyone (including neighbors and the owners themselves) can nominate any property, residential of commercial. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to nominate homes or businesses they feel are worthy of an award.
All 2011 Beautification Award Applications must be delivered by September 7 to Sea Isle’s City Hall, 4416 Landis Avenue. Applications can be obtained in person at City Hall or online at www.seaislecitynj.us (under the “Quick Links/Downloadable Forms” tabs).
Judging will take place during the second week of September. The 2011 Beautification Awards will be presented to winners at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, September 18 (during Fall Family Festival Weekend) on the Promenade at JFK Boulevard. Winners will receive custom-designed plaques and gift certificates to Sea Grove Nursery in Ocean View.
“This is a very nice community event because it honors those who help beautify our island,” said organizer Dudley McGinty. “It doesn’t matter if your home or business is old or new, modern or traditional. If you have recently made an effort to improve your property’s exterior, you should enter this contest. We also ask the public to nominate properties they feel deserve an award. It’s a great way to thank your neighbors who help make our world a bit more beautiful.”
