The city of Bowie and Soroptimist International of Bowie-Crofton will host the city’s 18th annual Beautification Awards Program and is seeking nominations until June 20.
The program is a way for Bowie to recognize the yards, gardens and landscaping that add to the city’s aesthetic, said special events coordinator Matt Corley.
“We’re looking at those homes that help beautify Bowie,” he said. “You can nominate your own home or someone else’s. You can also nominate a school or business.”
Entries will be judged by the Landscape Design Critics Council of the National Capital Area Garden Clubs in early July, and winners will be selected in several categories, including “Distinguished Whole Yard,” “Distinguished Specialty Garden” and “Distinguished Wildlife Habitat.”
Winners in the residential categories will receive yard signs, while winning schools and businesses will receive plaques, Corley said.
