66th Annual Preservation Merit Applications – Due Aug 14

Hello there,

Preservation Austin is excited to announce the call for nominations for our 66th Annual Preservation Merit Awards! This program gives us such an amazing platform to promote innovative preservation efforts and honor the hard work and visionary approaches of those preserving our city’s incredible architectural, cultural, and environmental heritage.

We look forward to honoring outstanding preservation work across the following categories:

• PRESERVATION AWARDS: Preservation Awards honor the rehabilitation and restoration of historic properties; outstanding additions; the preservation of cultural landscapes; and sustainability initiatives that respect a property’s historic character.
• STEWARDSHIP AWARDS: Stewardship Awards honor ongoing efforts to care for, manage, and maintain historic resources.
• SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARDS: Special Recognition Awards honor those who have exhibited leadership in preservation. This includes outstanding public service through advocacy, public projects, neighborhood preservation, or research; the craftspeople who maintain and restore our historic resources; educational programs, curricula, or informational tools that focus on preservation and history; and outstanding media coverage of preservation issues by reporters, writers, publishers, and publications. 

Projects must be located within the City of Austin and completed between January 1, 2022 and the application due date of August 14, 2026. I hope you’ll consider nominating any projects that fall within that range, we’re looking forward to honoring magnificent preservation work citywide.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the submission form and thanks for all the work you do!

Cheers,

Rosa Lisa Fry
