The "Take Pride Home Awards" in Chester are presented to residential and commercial properties in the City of Chester that have enhanced the beauty of the City.
Recognition of this honor is acknowledged by the placement of a sign in the winner’s yard. Photographs of the award-winning properties are placed in local newspapers, newspaper websites, on the City of Chester Facebook Page, and the City’s Website.
The Beautification Commission presents the “Take Pride Home Awards” once a month (May-Nov) to two residences each month. In November of each year, the Commission conducts a random drawing for $100.00. Eligible candidates/recipients of the monetary prize include all of the winners of the “Take Home Pride Awards” for the respective calendar year.
Nominations for the award can be made by anyone in the community. To make a nomination, please contact any Beautification Commission member or call City Hall at 618-826-2326. The two monthly winners are selected by the Chester Beautification Commission members.
