Scenic Visionary
Scenic Houston annually recognizes a community leader who has played a vital role in improving Houston’s appearance and image. The list of past recipients is a who’s who of Houstonians that have dramatically impacted our city. We honor our Scenic Visionary at our annual fall dinner. From time to time, we have also honored a Scenic Hero during our annual dinner. This award is reserved for those who have spent a lifetime committed to the visual environtment of our communities.
