Call for Entries: 2026 Beautification Awards

Are you planning any exciting gardening projects this year? Perhaps you're adding new landscaping, giving your home a fresh exterior look, or simply ensuring your lawn is well-maintained. Whatever you're doing to beautify your property, we're eager to see it and celebrate your dedication. You are welcome to nominate your own property or a neighbor who deserves recognition for a 2026 Beautification Award.

The Beautification Award program encourages both businesses and residents in Auburn Hills to take pride in their landscaping and exterior home improvements. Well-maintained buildings, houses, and gardens enhance the value of our community and inspire others to care for their properties. The efforts put into beautification lead to increased property values, the elimination of unsightly areas, and the transformation of potential community liabilities into assets. Our goal is to acknowledge the hard work and commitment involved in creating attractive and welcoming properties.

Committee members will visit nominated properties in July to take exterior photos that will be used to select this year’s winners. Beautification Award recipients will be notified at the end of the season and will be recognized with a congratulatory yard sign.

To learn more about the Beautification Awards or to submit a nomination for the 2026 season, please send an email to [email protected] or visit auburnhills.org/beautification-awards/. The nomination deadline is July 1st.
