Neighborhood Awards

The FWLNA decided it was time to recognize the great accomplishments of our neighborhoods and created the Annual Neighborhood Awards. Each year, we conduct a contest and recognize the winners at our annual neighborhood workshops event. All of this has been made possible by the City of Fort Worth and their sponsorship and support. 

Nomination begin in November of each year.

'Spirit of Fort Worth' -This award recognizes the social revitalization efforts, initiated by one neighborhood organization, that focus on the social or cultural aspects of the neighborhood.  In general these efforts support the spirit of 'Neighborliness' in the City of Fort Worth. 

'Fort Worth Pride' -This award celebrates the physical beautification and revitalization efforts initiated by one neighborhood organization.  The focus of the efforts should be on the physical aspects of a neighborhood such as parks, green spaces, lighting, litter control, traffic management and signage that help make their neighborhood and the City of Fort Worth a 'Clean and Attractive City.'

'Community Collaboration Award' -This award is given in recognition of projects that involve partnerships between neighborhood organizations and schools, businesses, municipalities or other neighborhood organizations.  The project must embrace the spirit of cooperation and community involvement.

'Neighborhood of the Year' -This award will be presented to the neighborhood organization that has best combined components of social, physical and collaborative revitalization efforts in their neighborhood. ~The Association must be nominated in one of the categories above to be considered. (Although you do not have to win the above award to win this one.)

'Ben Ann Tomayko Good Neighbor Award' -This award recognizes an individual that has gone above and beyond in their years of service to neighborhoods and best represents the spirit of volunteerism.  It is named after one of the founders of the Fort Worth League of Neighborhoods who was a true pioneer for neighborhoods.  ~Open to Fort Worth League of Neighborhood members only.

This is a joint venture with the city of Fort Worth
