ONSERVATION OF A HISTORIC PROPERTY
This award recognizes a property owner who has adopted a long-term maintenance ethic for an property that is
40 years old or older (not necessarily with a historic designation) that takes into account the property’s original design and materials. Properties that contribute to the character of local or national Historic Districts are eligible, as are other properties of distinctive architectural or landscape design. Nominations may include individual properties or groups of properties, including whole neighborhoods. For the purposes of this award conservation means applying measures necessary to maintain, stabilize, and protect the property while minimizing loss of original design, materials, and craftsmanship. Measures will generally apply to maintenance, repair, or in-kind replacement of historic materials and features rather than extensive replacement and new construction.
H ONOR A WARDS (multiple awards may be presented each year in each of these categories)
R ESTORATION – A NY PROPERTY TYPE
Eligible projects are those in which a primary goal was to return a property to a documented earlier appearance.

R EHABILITATION – ANY PROPERTY TYPE

P RESERVATION – ANY PROPERTY TYPE
Projects eligible for this category are those that apply measures necessary to sustain the existing form, integrity, and materials of an historic property.

This award is given to projects that include new construction on the site of a historic property, or a substantial new addition to a historic property.

F UTURE L ANDMARK A WARD FOR E XCEPTIONAL N EW D ESIGN
Recognizing that historically significant architecture reflects the aesthetic ideals, design innovations, and materials of its time, we implemented this award category to honor new architectural or landscape designs that are on the cutting edge of those ideals, and will likely be seen as an important contribution to Madison’s cultural heritage by future generations. Projects eligible in this category will reflect innovative ideas of aesthetics, material composition, engineering, spatial planning, and other design considerations, including contemporary treatment of landscape components (if applicable).
