San Francisco Beautiful
2009 Beautification Awards Nomination Form: due June 1, 2009
Bring recognition to individuals, organizations, businesses and civic entities that have partnered to improve the quality of life in San Francisco. Nominate a project that has enriched the life of your community by enhancing the City's physical environment. Nominated projects must be located in San Francisco and visually or physically accessible to the general public. Due date for nominations is June 1st. Awards will be presented during San Francisco Beautiful's Beautification Awards Dinner and After-Party on October 29th at the Westin St. Francis on Union Square.
Special consideration will be given to those projects that reflect this year's theme, "Saving Our City: Beauty Has a Place." We are looking for beautification projects that happen due to creative thinking and collective efforts - even in the face of resource shortages (both financial and natural) and some urban planning policies that threaten neighborhood character. These beautification projects take many forms and happen everywhere - schools, parks, stairways, neighborhood historic districts and streetcar lines. These projects often start with a few people who have a vision and then a community force builds around them.
Eligible projects include but are not limited to the following:
· Landscaping and planting
· Neighborhood conservation
· Historic preservation
· Litter and graffiti reduction
· Commercial district enhancements
· Innovative and sustainable landscaping and architectural design
· Citizen initiatives to beautify the public realm
· Enhancement of area's sense of place
· Open space, park and plaza enhancements
· Public art
Please provide the following:
- Nominated project (name/title/event/program)
- Location or address of project
- Sponsor/owner/primary volunteer
- Telephone/fax/email
- Your name
- Your telephone/fax/email
- Description of nominated project (must include digital photos).
