Best Yard Award
This initiative has been established to promote goodwill and reward exemplary lawn care in the community. The purpose is to recognize neighbors who demonstrate above-average efforts in maintaining their property, thereby contributing to the overall appearance of the community at large. This is a great award and the program is administered by volunteers.
Every quarter we will be showcasing one Lancaster Homeowner and one business owner who has kept their yard in exceptional condition. The Lancaster Eyes & Ears Program (LEEP) volunteers will vote for and choose a lawn that best typifies the qualities of uniqueness, beauty, appeal, and consistency with the following guidelines:
4. Holiday Season: In the months of October, November and December the Best Yard Award criteria will include holiday decorations and other seasonal presentations (Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukkah).
Winner will be recognized by Mayor and City Council, receive “Best Yard Award”, receive a decorative yard sign for display indicating winning yard, as well as posting of photo on our social media sites.
All nominations are due by close of business day on September 30, 2018. Thank you for taking the time to complete this nomination. Download the Nomination Form HERE.
