OCEAN CITY ­ The Ocean City
Beautification Committee is seeking
nominations in eight categories in
which someone can win a 2013
Beauty Spot Award, including resi-
dential, condominium, retail, hotel,
motel, commercial, restaurant and
Boardwalk.
Only nominated properties will be
judged. Help is needed by the
Beautification Committee in finding
those special properties that are
evidence of civic pride and commu-
nity beauty.
A property can be nominated by
anyone ­ the resident or owner of a
residence or business, a relative,
neighbor, friend, customer or just a
passerby.
Once all nominations are in, the
Beautification Committee will travel
around town to view all the nominat-
ed properties.
Judging is based on plants, flow-
ers, trees, shrubbery, grasses, de-
sign, layout, etc. that complement
the property. Even those properties
with little or no ground in which to
plant can imaginatively use contain-
ers, planters, window boxes, hang-
ing baskets or something else to
improve the "curb-side" appeal of
their property.
Also, those who make an effort to
beautify unattractive areas such as
dumpsters, electric boxes, etc., can
be recognized. In the fall at a City
Council meeting, the Mayor and Ci-
ty Council will present the winners
with their awards.
To nominate a property, call Don-
na Greenwood, chairperson, at 410-
289-7060, mail nominations to OC-
BC, Department of Recreation and
Parks, 200 125th Street, Ocean
City, Md. 21842 or email to ocbeau-
tification@hotmail.com before the
July 5, 2013 deadline.
