Preservation League of New York State Seeks Nominations for 2013 Excellence Awards

Supported by a grant from the Arthur F. and Alice E. Adams Foundation, the Preservation League of New York State's Excellence in Historic Preservation Awards recognize significant achievements in historic preservation anywhere in New York State.

For 2013, nominations will be considered in the following categories:

Projects — outstanding preservation, restoration, or rehabilitation projects completed by architects, landscape architects, engineers, planners, developers, preservationists, or property owners. Nominated projects may include but need not be limited to landscapes, buildings, main streets, rural resources, and private residences. Self-nominations are permitted.

Organizations and Communities — municipalities, community groups, nonprofit organizations, and neighborhood associations whose advocacy, public awareness, publications, legal battles, and other preservation efforts have demonstrated heroic dedication to New York's historic resources.

Individuals — Creative, inspirational leaders whose efforts have encouraged the protection of historic resources and strengthened the historic preservation movement in New York State. The individual award celebrates government officials, community leaders, local business owners, journalists, and other dedicated individuals who have succeeded in protecting New York's heritage.

Publications — Exceptional published surveys, historic structure or landscape reports, histories, brochures, technical briefs, or other preservation publications that have been instrumental in successful preservation projects and goals.

All nominations must have been executed in New York State and been completed between January 1, 2010, and January 1, 2013. The league encourages nominations that result in case studies or models incorporating energy efficiency, adaptive reuse, or New York's Historic Homeownership Rehabilitation Tax Credit program.

The awards will be presented during the Preservation League's Annual Meeting on May 15, 2013, in New York City.
