The 4th Annual B.L.E.N.D. Awards has expanded to include all of Southwest Minneapolis this year, with the inclusion of Kingfield, Tangletown, and Windom neighborhoods.
The 2010 B.L.E.N.D. Award is proudly sponsored by the following neighborhoods: Armatage, East Harriet Farmstead, Fulton, Kingfield, Linden Hills, Lynnhurst, Tangletown, and Windom.
The participating neighborhood Associations and councils are issuing a call for submissions for the 2010 B.L.E.N.D. Award, which recognizes builders, architects, designers, and property owners whose projects respect existing neighborhood design aesthetics. We have also included Landscape projects as a submission category this year and are looking forward to having submissions in that category.
The submission deadline is Friday, July 30th, 2010 at 5:00 p.m.
Eligible projects include new buildings, renovation or additions to existing buildings, and landscape projects that have been completed since July 1, 2005; projects must be located within the boundaries of the participating southwest neighborhoods. A jury of design professionals and neighborhood residents will select projects to be awarded. Recipients of the 2010 B.L.E.N.D. Award will be announced the week of August 16, 2010.
There has been a change to the date and location of the awards presentation:
The awards will be presented during the Fulton Neighborhood Association Annual Meeting, Wednesday October 13 at 7 p.m. at Pershing Park, 3523 West 48th Street.
B.L.E.N.D. stands for Buildings and Landscapes Enhancing the Neighborhood through Design. “The name and the award represent the residents’ recognition of interest in their neighborhood and encouragement of progress while balancing a need for compatibility,” said Phil Rader, AIA, an architect on the Fulton Neighborhood Association’s Zoning Committee.
The B.L.E.N.D. AWARD was featured in the 2010 Minneapolis/St. Paul Home Tour. See their website www.MSPhomeTour.com. You can read the feature article at http://msphometour.com/files/2010_Home_Tour_Pg14.pdf
