Excellence in Historic Preservation Awards
GuidelinesIn New York State, preservation and reuse of our historic buildings is fundamental to the economic revitalization of our cities, towns, and villages. The restoration of our historic neighborhoods, Main Streets, and underutilized buildings continues to create jobs, provide housing, promote tourism, stimulate private investment, and conserve energy, resources, and open space. Our annual Awards program allows us to highlight projects that offer new examples of best practices in historic preservation.
We invite you to join us in celebrating the preservation of New York State’s unique built and natural environment by submitting a nomination. Self-nominations are allowed and encouraged. There is no entrance fee. The League especially encourages nominations that provide case studies or models incorporating energy efficiency, adaptive reuse, or New York’s Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit program. Previous award winners are on our website. Read the Call for Nominations
