Celebrating those beautifying Knoxville!

Since 1979, Keep Knoxville Beautiful has presented Orchid Awards to Knoxville and Knox County buildings, public art, and outdoor spaces that beautify and elevate the local landscape. This year, we will continue that tradition but in a new way. The Orchids Awards will take place over 4 weeks in February with nominee highlights, awards announcements, and gift packages supporting KKB!
 
Architects, artist, developers, community members, etc. have submitted their projects for the Orchids Awards. Each week in February we will focus on one or two categories. The nominees will be announced and on the last day of the category, we will share the winner on the Facebook event page. Winners will receive their award signs the following week. We are grateful to all the nominees for keeping Knoxville beautiful!
