Beauty Contest 2026 – an award for contribution to beautification

Contribution to environmental and beautification initiatives 

The Municipality of Hafnarfjörður is seeking nominations from residents and all interested parties for awards recognising outstanding contributions to environmental matters and the town's beautification.

Recognition can be given both to individuals who selflessly clean and beautify their surroundings, and to the owners of plots and certain areas in Hafnarfjörður.

The selection for awards is based in part on submitted nominations, and all interested parties are encouraged to submit nominations via the council's website by 1 September. 

Open for broader nominations  

For many years, the Environment and Operations Council has been awarding accolades for beautiful gardens, attractive and tidy houses, beautiful new builds or streetscapes, as well as business premises considered exemplary.

This year, as last year, nominations are open to a wider range of entries, because beauty truly is found everywhere; both in the environment and, not least, in the people themselves and their commitment to environmental causes.

It would be nice to receive a variety of proposals that recognise the contributions of individuals and businesses and are designed to inspire others. Many small things make one big thing.  

The deadline for nominations is 1 September.  

The selection for the awards is based in part on submitted nominations, and residents, visitors, staff of businesses and organisations in Hafnarfjörður, and others interested are encouraged to nominate them and the best efforts in the field of environmental matters.

Nominations can be submitted via the registration form below, but can also be sent to the email address: ingibjorgs@hafnarfjordur.is. Awards will be presented at a ceremony in Hellisgerði in September.
