Historic Hawaii Foundation Annual Awards

Aloha,
Historic Hawai‘i Foundation is accepting nominations now through January 9, 2009 for the 2009 Preservation Honor Awards. The Honor Awards recognize exceptional preservation projects and programs from across the state. The Preservation Honor Awards are Hawai‘i’s highest recognition of efforts to perpetuate, rehabilitate, restore or interpret Hawai‘i’s architectural, archaeological and cultural heritage.
The awards presentation will be held on March 24, 2009 onboard Princess Cruises’ Golden Princess, which will be moored in Honolulu Harbor. Honorees will be announced in mid-February.
Awards are given to projects that exhibit excellence in planning, implementation, and follow-through of work that demonstrates historic preservation as a strategy for the protection, understanding, revitalization, use or celebration of Hawai‘i’s historic and cultural sites. Awards are given for specific preservation or rehabilitation projects; printed publications or visual presentations interpreting the history or preservation of a site; and for engaging in efforts that support preservation. Nominations are reviewed and honors are awarded by a committee of professionals in the fields of architecture, history, landscape architecture, media, planning and preservation.
Attached is a nomination form and submittal requirements for the awards. Nomination packets are due January 9, 2009. If you have any questions or need assistance with the application, please contact Katie Kastner, Director of Field Services, at 808-523-2900 or Ka...@historichawaii.org.
