Once each calendar quarter, a Beautification Award is presented to a single residence and a single business that have best exhibited the concept of Keeping Orange County Beautiful.. Award recipients may come from anywhere within Orange County and are not limited exclusively to the areas covered by GOACC and/or BCCC.
Each award recipient will receive a lawn sign to indicate the award and the date of the award. Award recipients may also receive gift certificates and other valuable considerations raised by the program partners. The lawn sign does not need to be returned to the Committee unless it or the location is not maintained.
Whenever possible, a small public ceremony is held at the award recipient's site. This ceremony includes members of the ambassadors program from the chamber partners and each partner uses its normal facilities to see that a photograph is published in its favorite media including their own web sites.
Partners
KOCB’s quarterly Beautification Award program is held in conjunction with our partners, the Greater Orange Area Chamber of Commerce (GOACC) and the Bridge City Chamber of Commerce (BCCC).

Award recipients are nominated by the public on the Keep Orange County Beautiful website (www.KOCB.org). Each program partner provides a promotional page on their own web sites with links to the nomination page on the KOCB website.
In addition to the public nominations, each of the chamber partners is responsible for one nomination each period for a business and KOCB is responsible for one nomination for a residence. Nominations shall close at the end of the second month of the calendar quarter. KOCB is responsible for tallying the nominations. Whenever possible, preference shall be given to nominations from the public.
The Committee
Representatives from all partners make up the Orange County Beautification Committee, which controls the award activities. The Committee makes the selection of award recipients during the 3rd month of the calendar quarter. One selection is made for a residence and one for a business. If possible, all nominations have a drive-by viewing. The actual award ceremony is held as close to the 1st of the following quarter as possible. The Orange County Beautification Committee consists of two members each from GOACC and KOCB and one member from BCCC.
