Applewood Park Lovely Yard Contest

“Some People look for a beautiful place, others make a place beautiful”

Hazrat Inayat Khan

To celebrate summer, the Applewood Park Community Association is hosting a ‘Lovely Yard’ Contest. If you think you’ve got the best yard in the neighbourhood, show it off by sending in your photo submission. And if you have a neighbour that also works hard on their landscaping, nominate them too! This contest runs from now through to the end of August. Photos will be judged and winners will be hand picked by the APCA volunteer Board. Top 3 get the grand prizes and number of any runners up will be determined by the number of entrants.

Submissions will be judged on criteria such as 40% aesthetics of yard design, 30% creativity and 30% personality. The entries with the highest total score will be deemed finalists and proceed to a voting phase. In the event of a tie, an additional, “tie-breaking” judge will determine the finalists.

We can’t wait to see the photos of your beautiful properties. Thanks for all working so hard to do your part keeping Applewood beautiful!

Note, you can make multiple submissions if you end up improving on your yard throughout the summer, however only the last submission you make will be considered for judging.

        Neighbour Day 2021 – Sidewalk Chalk Art Festival!

        Strong neighbourhoods are important to the health and well-being of our whole city. When neighbourhoods thrive, the people who live there thrive too. Neighbour Day now provides the opportunity for Calgarians to celebrate our community spirit, kindness and resilience through the pandemic.

        One way the Applewood Park Community Association is recognizing Neighbour Day this year is by having you, the Applewood residents share your gratitude through Art. We ask you to join along with your neighbours in creating sidewalk chalk art representing your gratitude for your neighbours in Applewood Park. This can be done on foot pathways in the neighbourhood, at the Applewood Park Community Association Park or at your own home.

        All artwork must be appropriate for public viewing by all ages; no lewd, graphic violence, gore, nudity. No political messages, works or symbols intended as advertising may appear in the image.

        If you would like to participate in the festival please fill out the entry form and the APCA will drop off a package of sidewalk chalk at no cost. However, feel free to use your own chalk as well. Please fill out the entry form by June 17, 2021 to allow the association enough time to get your chalk out to you.

        Share your art on social media on the Applewood Park Neighbours Facebook page and on other social media platforms by using #yycNeighbourDay #APCANeighbourDay If you would like the association to share for you on social media, please provide your submission on or before June 19, 2021 to i[email protected].

        We look forward to seeing all your gratitude for your neighbors coming alive through art around the neighbourhood.


        Update: This form has been closed. If you have any questions or concerns about the event, please email us at [email protected] or fill out the ‘Contact Us’ form here.
