Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership
Cornelia Keller Champion Award
The Journey Through Hallowed Ground (JTHG) Partnership is committed to recognizing
and celebrating the ongoing efforts of individuals and organizations that promote the
Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area and National Scenic Byway.
Each year, at the organization’s Annual Conference, the JTHG Partnership presents a
series of awards to recognize outstanding achievements by its partners, volunteers, and
supporters. The Champion Award is presented to a person or organization that goes out
of their way to promote the Journey to their colleagues, friends and visitors.
Who is eligible?
Any person or organization that actively and enthusiastically supports and promotes the
Journey Through Hallowed Ground National Heritage Area and National Scenic Byway.
They have demonstrated commitment to the mission of the Journey to develop a cohesive
vision for the conservation of this vibrant historical region extending from Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania, through Maryland and Harpers Ferry, West Virginia to Thomas Jefferson's
Monticello in Albemarle County, Virginia.
How to nominate a JTHG Champion?

submissions for one person are not necessarily weighted more favorably than single
nominations. Nominations can be made using the Champion Award Nomination Form.

brochures, etc.) Include them as a PDF attached to your nomination form when emailing
it or mail a hard copy. Please limit support materials to no more than five pages.
