After evaluation, we celebrate! Every year we present a series of awards that recognizes the diverse achievements and successes of participating communities and our supporters.
Similar sized communities are grouped together. Population awards are bestowed upon only ONE entrant from each category.
The “best of the best” awards in each of the seven areas of impact (plus community involvement): community vitality, flowers, landscaped areas, urban forestry, environmental efforts, celebrating heritage, and overall impression. These awards only go to one entrant among ALL the AIB entrants across ALL categories. Entrants may nominate themselves.
The surprise award categories change year to year and are kept secret until the winners are announced. Only the Advisors know the awards for each year, so it’s a surprise when the winners are announced.
This award recognizes an individual who exemplifies community leadership through actions that reflect the America in Bloom mission. Learn more.
Given to an entrant who best uses the power of YouTube to showcase the impact of participating in America in Bloom. This is a People’s Choice Award so it’s a great chance to rally your community for the voting! Learn how you could win $1,500.
Want to see videos from AIB communities? The AIB YouTube Channel has what you’re looking for.
Honors an organization whose goals and accomplishments are synergistic with those of America in Bloom. This award is not given annually. See past winners.
Participating communities are evaluated by specially-trained voluntary Advisors. Coming to us from diverse professional backgrounds, they champion community improvements via visits and a detailed written evaluation and report. Our dedicated Advisors also provide mentorship through continued coaching and consultations. We estimate together they donate at least 6,000 hours of their time per year, and we couldn’t do our work without them.
There are many ways to show your support and engage with our national beautification and improvement efforts. Local volunteers spread awareness and organize their communities. Interested in volunteering? Learn more.
Sponsorships, tax-free donations, auctions, and raffles fund our programs and activities. Interested in financially supporting America in Bloom? Learn more.
