2024 Excellence Awards
PROGRAM DEADLINE: June 21, 2024 at 04:00 PM EDT
Description
The League's annual Excellence Awards program allows us to shine a light on the people who are using historic preservation to make all of our lives better — through exemplary restoration projects, indispensable publications, individual action, and organizational distinction.
Recipients of the Excellence Award represent the very best of what the League stands for and supports in historic preservation. They exemplify best practices in the field and demonstrate how preservation is integral to building stronger neighborhoods, boosting local economies, tackling the affordable housing crisis, mitigating climate change, opening our eyes to overlooked history, and saving the places that are special to all of us.
Initiatives relating to social justice, civil rights, sustainability, traditional trades, and affordable housing are especially encouraged, as are sites that were formerly included on a League "Seven to Save" list.
Requirements
The awards jury evaluates each nomination on the following:
- Level of statewide significance
- Impact on underrepresented communities or overlooked history
- Effective solutions to current preservation issues
- Degree of difficulty faced, and creativity shown in the solution
- Level of impact on the community, region, or state
- Display of collaborative efforts
- Design sensitivity to the historic character and fabric of the property while utilizing appropriate preservation techniques, such as the Secretary of the Interior's Standards
Eligibility: Nomination must be based in New York State. Nominations in the Project and Publication categories must be complete as of the submission date and must have been completed no earlier than May 2021. Letters of support must be submitted in order for nominations to be considered.
