Photographs
Each property nominated is photographed from the front. If there are indoor sustainable features and/or special features in the back or side yard, please let us know, so that arrangements can be made to photograph those areas, as well. We also use photographs that show the condition of a property before improvements are made for transformation nominees.

Categories


Properties can be nominated for one of five award categories, based on their qualifying characteristics. This year we have added some new "rainscaping" elements to the program to recognize how homeowners are using landscaping to protect local creeks and lakes.
