Winning projects must aim to beautify or brighten a neighbourhood.

The groups will get up to $500 in funding to execute the project.

Submissions are due by January 30th.

Co Chair Lilly Noble, says all projects will be listed on the Coalition’s website so residents can vote on their favourites.

Winners will be announced this spring and the projects will come to fruition sometime over the summer.

Last year’s inaugural competition had nine winning projects, including community gardens, birdhouses along trails, a mural at the Northern Ontario Railroad Heritage Museum in Capreol.
