Award Winners of the 2007 Keep Montgomery County Beautiful
Beautification & Amateur Photography Contests

The 21st Annual Keep Montgomery County Beautiful (KMCB) Community Beautification Awards were presented at a special ceremony in Rockville to winners in various categories.
Amateur photographers were also honored at the ceremony for our 16th Annual Amateur Photography Contest.

Department of Transportation (DOT) Director Art Holmes, Jr., County Executive Isiah Leggett, KMCB volunteer Carol Carter, and DOT Community Relations Manager Thomas Pogue presented the awards.

Sponsored by the DOT and the KMCB Task Force, the beautification contest is open to community groups, businesses, public institutions and other organizations undertaking landscaping projects that enhance the appearance of non-residential properties. Level I prizes go to new projects initiated between fall 2006 - summer 2007, while Level II prizes are awarded to established projects planted prior to fall 2006.

The photo contest is open to individual residents who capture the beauty of landmarks, people and places within Montgomery County. Twenty years ago, concerned volunteers formed the KMCB Task Force to work with the County to develop beautification projects, anti-litter and recycling programs and to educate and change citizen attitudes about littering and graffiti.
