PRESS RELEASE
Wisescape Nominations Now Being Accepted

September 3, 2013 (Moscow, Idaho) - Do you know someone in our community that is making an effort to save water through efficient landscaping?  If so, now through September 15 is the time to nominate innovative landscaping for the Moscow Wisescape Awards.

Moscow's Wisescapes Awards are intended to recognize those in Moscow set a great example for aesthetics and resource conservation.  Entries will be selected for recognition in one of four categories including commercial, non-profit, residential, and small business, both for new and continuing efforts.  Categories may also be adjusted depending on nominations received to ensure that outstanding efforts are recognized.

Nominations are evaluated based on the following:

*        Design.   Is it aesthetically pleasing?  Does it limit traditional turf?  Does it use efficient irrigation?

*        Reduction of resources.  Does it save water and require less mowing?  Is there a reduction of yard waste?  Reduced labor, pesticides, and fertilizer use?

*        Soil.  Are soil enhancements, such as compost and mulches used?

*        Plant selection.  Are the plants suitably selected and placed within the landscape?

Nominees must be Moscow water customers, must follow Moscow water ordinances and resolutions, and may be self-nominated or nominated by someone else.  Visit http://www.ci.moscow.id.us for guidelines and nomination forms.  Mayor Nancy Chaney will select the winners.
