The Keep Oklahoma Beautiful statewide Environmental Excellence Competition recognizes the good works of Oklahomans for exceptional environmental improvement efforts completed during the 12-month period ending June 30 each year.  

A statewide call for nominations goes out in June for awards in a variety of categories.   After a rigorous judging process, the top three finalists in each category are notified and invited to attend the awards banquet and celebration in November.  This highly anticipated event is well attended and full of fun, surprises, inspiring stories, good food and entertainment.  Each finalist is honored with a media presentation telling the story of their achievements, just before the winners in each category are revealed.

Out of all category winners for the year, one is selected by the judges to be the OUTSTANDING ACHIEVEMENT AWARD recipient, presented as a surprise at the close of the evening. 

As you click through the pages in this section, you can find former award winners (from 1999 to present) in the KOB Hall of Fame.  Reading the stories of amazing accomplishments through the years will amaze and inspire you.

You may also use the site search feature on the Home Page to find a specific person, organization, agency or business.
