Deadline for Landscape Beautification Contest Extended to June 17
For Immediate Release: Wednesday, June 1, 2016
The deadline for the Montgomery County Department of Transportation's (MCDOT) Annual Keep Montgomery County Clean and Green (formerly Keep Montgomery County Beautiful) Landscape Beautification Contest has been extended to June 17. The contest recognizes community groups, businesses, public institutions and other organizations undertaking landscaping projects that enhance the appearance of commonly owned sections of commercial or residential properties in Montgomery County. Landscaping along County roadsides, medians, or other public locations is also eligible for the award.
Landscapes should emphasize environmentally sensitive plantings that eschew non-native and invasive species, help reduce stormwater runoff, minimize water use, provide wildlife habitat, and keep pesticides and fertilizers out of local streams.
MCDOT is also accepting applications for its Annual Amateur Photography competition through July 1.
