KAB Awards

 

The KAB Awards recognize the efforts made by individuals and groups to enhance and protect Austin's environment. As KAB celebrates over 27 years of keeping Austin beautiful we want to recognize the best of the best that are making an impact in Austin’s environment!

If you know an individual, community group or business that is making big strides to clean, beautify and protect our Austin environment, please nominate them. If this is you apply on your own behalf! Winners are honored at the 27th Annual Awards Luncheon.

Now is the time to start thinking about inspirational projects and achievements that should be recognized. We are now accepting applications for the 2012 KAB Awards!
