Show Panguitch City Vies For Beautification Honors in Utah Event Participants in the recent clean up day in Panguitch worked to spruce up the city which is entered in the Civic Beautification Program, an annual statewide contest. Communities enter the contest based on their size and their particular interests. Chairman for this years competition is Brian Foy. The contest aims to encourage appreciation of well-kept businesses, homes, and communities and. initiate a face lifting where natural beauty is marred by people's neglect. It also pinpoints the need for improvements and provides incentives through recognition for those who excell. Criteria for the competiton are general effect and value to the community, design, effort and use of resources. In August, judges will size up overall appearance and strive to evaluate any increased woth plus the power of example and en joyment it brings community members and visitors. They will also look for indications of good plannning, consider selec tion, grouping, and placement of plant materials, note harmony, interest, utility and foresight (permanence) evident in the. project. Judges will consider how hard and how consistent individuals of the group have worked developing and maintaining the project and the approximate percent of group participating. They will compare results accomplished according to resources (water, soil, money and materials) available.
