Only Available between April and May 7

Each year Santa Barbara citizens, residents, and visitors submit nominations for consideration by local judges for the annual Santa Barbara Beautiful Awards. Anyone may submit a property or project that they think is exemplary of what it means to beautify our city. Judges will review all notations based on pre-determined criteria that fall between Ortega Ridge Road and Turnpike, and the Santa Ynez Mountain Peaks to the Ocean.

Properties may be nominated in more than one category. There is no limit to the number of entries per person. Winners are selected by independent judges (based on merit, not on the number of nominations.)

Note: Only one address and category cab be submitted on each form.
