These are the two categories for nominations:

Design and Construction Awards

Design Awards are open to built projects of all sizes and classifications including new construction, historic preservation, additions, remodeling, renovations, adaptive reuse, landscaping and interiors.

The purpose is to celebrate the excellent work of builders, designers, craftsmen and homeowners who preserve and enhance the beauty and integrity of our district.

To nominate a project, you will need the contact information, location, a description of the project, photos including before and after (if possible) and plans.

Service Awards are presented to projects, programs or people that have improved our neighborhood in 2021. This award recognizes acts of service and philanthropy by individuals, businesses and organizations. We recognize a range of activities from a small act of neighborliness up to large programs of stewardship and patronage.

To nominate a project you will need names, and address if applicable, a description for why you are submitting a nomination and photos if applicable.
