Lily Awards The Lily Awards are given each year for architecture and land improvements, which exemplifies the "high artistic result" decreed by the Covenant. These coveted awards are named for Lilian Rice, a notable early ranch architect. In the years since the publication of the Residential Design Guidelines in 1991 and the awards inception in 1993, the Lily has served to present models of the community's standards as well as example of acceptable architectural styles.

Rancho Santa Fe Covenant property owners receive a beautiful crystal trophy engraved with a lily. The respective architects, designers, builders and landscape architects are awarded certificates recognizing their talents for the projects, and for their contribution to the preservation of the community character through sensitive, traditional designs.

These awards are given by the Association at the Annual Meeting that is held in May. For more information, contact Mr. Robert Green, Building Commissioner.
