We’re excited to roll out a new combined Chapter Beautification Award and State Trophy Award entry form! This new form makes things easier by letting you use the same paperwork you submit at the local level to also enter the State Trophy Awards. No need to fill everything out twice. If you’ve already downloaded and completed the previous “chapter only” form, no worries! We’ll still accept those entries as well.

Projects will be judged by landscaping experts and they’ll be looking at the skill and quality that goes into the projects entered. Judging will take place May 7-9, 2026.

Awards will be presented at a banquet on June 20, 2026, at The Odyssey in Granada Hills. We are planning a networking reception and delicious meal. The evening will culminate with an exciting multi-media presentation of all entries, and of course, the presentation of the landscape beautification awards.
