Floral Display Contest Open To Montgomery Residents

MONTGOMERY, IL — The Montgomery Beautification Committee will be sponsoring a Summer Floral Display Awards again this year. This is an opportunity for homes and businesses to be recognized for exceptional landscape displays that feature annual and perennial flowers. Beautification Committee members will give awards to those homes that best meet the contest criteria: displays must be predominantly floral; live plants only (no artificial, silk, etc.); flower displays may be in ground or containers; perennial and annual flowering plants are acceptable; and the display must add “curb appeal” to the property. Residents can nominate their own property or someone else's simply by submitting the property address.

On Wednesday, June 27th, committee members and volunteer judges will visit all nominated addresses in order to select the winners. A sign will be placed that evening in front of the properties selected for an award. Owners are asked to leave these signs up for at least several weeks. A list of winning addresses will be published. Names will be withheld.

Nominations will be accepted up through June 25th, and judging will take place the evening of June 27th. You can nominate a property via the Village website or by calling the Village of Montgomery Public Works Department at (630) 896-9241.
