The Dearborn City Beautiful Commission invites residents to nominate homes with outdoor decorations for honors in the Dearborn Spring Aglow awards program. The commission will select outstanding outdoor displays celebrating the spring season and holidays observed around March 20, the first day of spring.

Nominations are due by Wednesday, March 19, 2025. Nominations and photos may be submitted at Dearborn.gov/CityBeautiful.

Volunteer commission members will tour the city to judge decorated front yards beginning March 20. Residents are advised to keep outdoor displays illuminated through March 24 to ensure that judges can view nighttime displays and home addresses. 

Honorees are expected to be announced by the commission around March 27.

The addresses and photographs of the homes chosen for top honors will be publicized. Households selected for top honors and honorable mentions will receive special window decals from the City Beautiful Commission.

Top honorees will also be invited to an awards dinner in early 2026, along with residents selected for their outdoor decorations in the fall and winter and those chosen for their curb appeal and outstanding property maintenance in the Residential Standard of Excellence program in the summer.   

This is the third year that the City Beautiful Commission has presented Spring Aglow, which typically has highlighted Ramadan, St. Patrick’s Day, and Easter decorations.
