Sunday is the last day to nominate gardens and landscaping in the annual contest for Burnsville residents and businesses sponsored by the Burnsville Convention Visitors Bureau and Cal’s Market Garden Center.

In previous years, the contest was sponsored by the city of Burnsville. This is the second year the convention and business bureau has coordinated the contest.

“This event gives us an opportunity to show our appreciation to residents and business owners who keep the community looking great,’’ said Convention Visitors Bureau Executive Director Amie Burrill. “A beautiful city makes our job of attracting visitors just that much easier.”

Burnsville residents and businesses have until the end of today to nominate favorite homes, neighborhoods and Burnsville businesses that have impeccable landscaping or gardening. To qualify, nominees must be located within Burnsville city limits, be visible from the street and match criteria for the submitted category.

Nominations will be reviewed by the visitor’s bureau board of directors in early July. Prizes in each category are a $100 gift card to Cal’s Market Garden Center, a $50 gift card to a Burnsville restaurant, and four tickets to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.

To submit a nomination, go to www.Burnsvillemn.com/Garden-Contest. cfm or pick up a form at any Burnsville Convention Visitors Bureau, Burnsville City Hall, Cal’s Market and Garden Center and Jo Jo’s Rise Wine. All submissions must have a photo.

Winners will be notified by phone.

EAGAN

Sculptures chosen for art installation

Two sculptures have been selected for installation on the Eagan Art House grounds by the end of August.

The first, “Metamorphosis,” by Eagan artist Melvin Smith, is a 21-foot orange-painted metal sculpture of circles and geometric shapes designed to portray celebration and change through color, shape and what they city describes as a “framing of nature and community.” It was funded through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council.

The second, “Sentience,” by Minneapolis artist Marcia MacEachron, is a 6-foot steel sculpture of two intersecting oak leaves with cutouts to produce changing shadow forms surrounding the piece. It was designed to provide diverse shadows on the surrounding ground, encouraging interactive experiences. It was funded by the 2013 Parks Recreation Park Site Fund.
