WHAT ARE THE KAB AWARDS?

The KAB Awards recognize the efforts made by individuals and groups to enhance and protect Austin's environment. As KAB celebrates 25 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 will be recognized at the 25th Annual Awards Luncheon scheduled for November 3rd, 2010.
