Nominations are open in four categories:
- Residential
- Civic
- Neighborhood
- Business/Commercial
Anyone who maintains property within the Edwardsville city limits is eligible for a Green Thumb Award. We encourage self-nominations and nominations by others to spotlight the hard work of homeowners, professional landscapers, and volunteers who maintain these beautiful spaces. However, members of the Edwardsville Environmental Commission and those who have received a Green Thumb Award within the past five years are not eligible.
Projects will be judged based on their character, considering factors such as whether they are maintained by homeowners, professionals, or volunteers. This initiative aims to inspire and encourage everyone in the community to take pride in and contribute to the beauty of our city.
Nominations can be submitted in two ways:
- Online: Fill out and submit the nomination form at www.cityofedwardsville.com/greenthumb.
- Mail or Drop-off: Print and send or deliver the nomination form to Edwardsville City Hall, 118 Hillsboro Avenue, Edwardsville, IL 62025
The deadline for nominations is July 31, 2024. Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate the efforts that make Edwardsville a more beautiful place to live, work, and play.
