  Nominations Due March 1 for 2008 National Preservation Awards
The National Trust for Historic Preservation invites you to nominate a deserving individual, organization, agency, or project for a National Preservation Award, given to those whose contributions demonstrate excellence in historic preservation. Any individual, organization, agency, or project involved in historic preservation is eligible to receive a National Preservation Award. Nominated projects must have been completed within the last three years. Nominations may be made without the knowledge of the nominee, and self-nominations also will be accepted. The deadline for nominations for all awards is March 1. Those nominations not selected to receive a Trustees, ACHP, or HUD Award automatically are considered for an Honor Award. Download the nomination form from the National Trust’s Web site.
