Beauty Pageant 2024 and Rosa Moeller receives an honorary award

Rosa honoured with an award

Yesterday, Rosa K. Moeller was honoured with a civic award in Hafnarfjörður at a beautiful ceremony in Hellisgerði. She receives the award for her contribution to the community of Hafnarfjörður. In her spare time, Rosa regularly walks around the harbour area and nearby streets, single-handedly clearing up litter and weeds.  

12 Austurgata, Venusarhús, is the recipient of the 2024 Tidy Award. „Both the building and the grounds are exceptionally tidy, and great care has been taken to preserve the appearance of this beautiful old house,' the citation states. On Tuesday, 24th September, around a dozen recipients received the 2024 Tidy Town Award from the City of Hafnarfjörður: the owners of eight homes and residential properties, two businesses, and the residents of Heiðvangur Street, which was named Street of the Year. „In recent years, this busy street has been remarkably well-kept, and residents are clearly united in keeping their surroundings tidy,“ the justification states. 

The Business of the Year in Cosmetology are at 12 Ringhellu. Ísrör ehf and Málmar ehf received the award, and the justification states that the site's access is noticeably tidy despite the nature of the operations involved. „It is noticeable how much emphasis is placed on keeping the surroundings tidy.“
