Dublin City Neighbourhoods Competition is an annual contest, organized by Dublin City Council. It recognizes the efforts of residents, associations, communities, businesses and schools to enhance their living environment. What is more, the competition aims to foster a sense of civic pride, place and community and to promote environmental awareness emphasizing on joint voluntary effort. The competition could distinguish anything from a well-maintained garden and shop front to waste management, energy efficiency initiatives and environmental projects in schools, business, private residences.
