Call for Nominations
The Arizona Preservation Foundation and the State Historic Preservation Office/Arizona State
Parks invite your nominations for the annual Governor’s Heritage Preservation Honor
Awards. Each year awards are given to individuals, businesses, organizations, and/or projects
in recognition of outstanding achievements in preserving Arizona’s prehistoric and historic
resources.
The mission of the Governor’s Heritage Preservation Honor Awards is to:
• Promote public awareness of historic preservation in the state of Arizona;
• Publicly recognize the varied contributions by volunteers, professionals, organizations,
and agencies to promote the goals of historic preservation;
• Identify and recognize educational, community, non-profit, and private-sector heritage
projects that demonstrate excellence in design and execution.
This year, presentation of the awards will take place on Friday, May 15th, 2015, at a luncheon to
be held in conjunction with the 2015 Arizona Historic Preservation Conference at the Du Bois
Center, Northern Arizona University, 306 East Pine Knoll Drive, Flagstaff, Arizona.
While there are no specific categories, nominations can address any aspect of heritage
preservation achievement including: restoration, rehabilitation, stabilization, or preservation
efforts by individuals, businesses, organizations, or communities that have had a positive
effect on our historic or cultural resources; contribute to increasing awareness of preservation
through activities or educational programs; or show outstanding achievement towards
preservation of historic or archaeological resources.
Selection of Honor Awards and Grand Award
A panel of judges representing the fields of archaeology, architecture, history, and
preservation will review the nominations. Honor Award winners will be chosen and
announced before the conference; the Grand Award will be chosen from among these ten and
announced at the ceremony.
Additional documentation may be requested from nominees of those winners, including
professional biographical information, an expanded description of the project, a list of project
participants, and additional photos and/or slides.
