best visual contributions to the Durham community. The goal of the
awards program is to encourage better designed and better maintained
properties in Durham. This event is co-sponsored by the Durham
City-County Appearance Commission and Keep Durham Beautiful, Inc.
* Forty-six entries were received this year in the following

* Judging is done by an independent panel of local professionals
representing architecture, landscape architecture, development, and the
arts community. Selection criteria include excellence in design of a
new development and/or improvement of an existing structure; raising
community awareness of the value of good appearance and stewardship;
improving the character, environment, or livability of an area; and a
commitment to ongoing property maintenance in landscaping, signage, and
general upkeep.

volunteer advisory board that provides leadership, expertise, and
oversight in the promotion of design excellence, visionary planning, and
preservation of the best and most livable community standards. Keep
Durham Beautiful, Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization
working to engage and inspire individuals to take greater responsibility
for their community environment.
