Montgomery County Department of Transportation’s (MCDOT) annual Keep MontgomeryCounty Beautiful (KMCB) Landscaping and Photography competitions.
The 29th Annual Landscape Contest is
open to community groups, businesses, public institutions and other
organizations undertaking landscaping projects that enhance the appearance of
commonly owned sections of commercial or residential properties in Montgomery
County. Landscaping along County roadsides, medians, or other public locations
is also eligible for the award. Applications are available online and nominations
are due by June 22.
For the 24th Annual Amateur PhotographyContest, photos of County locations or residents are judged on effective
composition, originality, interest and relevance of the subject matter, and
technique. Categories include Montgomery County by day or by night, County
landmarks, people, and persons at work. There is also an optional youth
category for aspiring photographers age 18 and younger who wish to be judged
only against their peers. Applications due by June 30.
MCDOT’s Community Outreach website has
photos of last year’s winning entries for both contests and the landscaping and
photography contest applications, which explain the guidelines and judging
criteria.
