Community Pride Awards
The City of Southfield is currently seeking nominations for the 2020 Community Pride Awards, which recognizes Southfield residents that have gone the extra mile in their beautification efforts. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nominations must now include at least one photograph for new virtual voting process.
The program is coordinated by the City’s Neighborhood & Information Center and the Southfield Parks & Garden Club to promote beautification efforts throughout the city. Residents are encouraged to nominate individual homeowners, neighborhoods, condominiums, apartments and even themselves. Public buildings such as schools, churches and synagogues may also be worthy of recognition, and residents are encouraged to nominate them as well. A team of judges will tour neighborhoods and select a list of winners in early July. All winners will be honored by the mayor and city council prior to a council meeting in September.
Nomination forms are available at the City’s Neighborhood & Information Center located inside City Hall at 26000 Evergreen Road, or they may be downloaded below. Pictures of properties are required (maximum of three) and the condition of the entire property will be considered for judging. All nominations must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Friday, June 26, 2020. Nominations and photos may be e-mailed to: lcarr@cityofsouthfield.com or mailed to City of Southfield, Attn: Community Relations, 26000 Evergreen Road, P.O. Box 2055, Southfield, MI 48037-2055.
