The program will award it first winner on May 1. The program will award monthly winners during the months of April through September for landscaping, and for holiday decorations in the months of October (Halloween) and December (Christmas). Each monthly winner will receive special recognition and the honor of displaying the official “Pride of Atmore Yard of the Month” lawn-sign in their yard that identifies their property as the Yard of the Month winner.

* Landscaping awards will be presented for the months of April through September. Awards for best Halloween decorations will be presented in October and best Holiday decorations will be presented in December.
* The award term lasts from the first day to the last day of a calendar month.
* The same property cannot receive more than one award in the same rolling 12 month calendar period.
* The upkeep of the yard can reflect the efforts of the residents themselves or that of a professional landscaper.
* During their reign as Yard of the Month, winners are expected to maintain their yard in the same manner that allowed them to win the title.
