JACKSON, Tenn. – Nominations for the 2022 Mayor’s Civic Pride Awards are open to the public.

The annual Mayor’s Civic Pride Awards recognize individuals that take exceptional care in their properties, which includes keeping yards well kept, beautiful landscaping and/or hardscape, and overall curb appeal.

“We look forward to this event every year so we can honor those who work hard on their properties throughout the city of Jackson,” said City of Jackson, TN Recycling Coordinator Robin Chance. “We also honor our community partners who help to keep our city looking beautiful and welcoming with environmental stewardship Awards.”

A group of Master Gardeners will judge this year’s Civic Pride nomination entries in which five individual awards will be given from five areas within the city as well as five honorable mentions. There will also be a Commercial and Educational Institution category with five awards given and three honorable mentions.

Environmental Stewardship awards will also be presented to individuals, companies or organizations that go out of their way to do something that will better the planet such as a student instituting a recycling program at their school; a person who organizes regular litter pick-ups; a company that changes operating procedures to go greener and protect our planet.

“The annual Mayor’s Civic Pride Awards give residents the opportunity to showcase their neighbors commitment to keeping their lawns well kept,” said Mayor Scott Conger. “I look forward to presenting the awards this year.”
