The deadline to submit the entry form and $50 fee for each property nominated is Friday, April 10, 2026.

Beautification awards recognize commercial, business and government properties that enhance Huntsville’s appearance through thoughtful landscape design and consistent maintenance.

Properties are evaluated from the curb, with emphasis on first impressions, design, plant health and variety, maintenance, hardscape condition, safety and litter control. Exceptional properties may also be considered for Special District Awards or the Mayor’s Award, which recognize outstanding achievement in beautification.

Judging will take place after Memorial Day using the 2026 Huntsville Beautification Awards Judging Standards.
