Hi y'all,
Please take a moment to read the below message from Heather. There is
so much good work being done renovating our great old houses, both
large & small. Please let Heather know of the ones you think worthy
of recognition.

Hello neighbors and fellow Durhamites!
It's time again to begin the selection process for Preservation
Durham's Annual Historic Preservation Awards. I'm excited to be
chairing the awards committee this year, but must admit that I need
your help! The committee is soliciting nominations for the awards
which include the Pyne Preservation Award and Neighborhood
Conservation Award. This is your chance to take a look around your
neighborhood and recognize those individuals who have made a positive
contribution to Durham through Historic Preservation in the past
year. There are very few requirements for nominating a project, our
only request is that the nominated project is complete. (You can
always nominate it next year if it's not done by mid- to
late-spring.) We're especially seeking those lower-profile projects
that often fly under our preservation-radar. If you're not sure if a
project is eligible or which award to nominate it for, just nominate
it and we'll figure out the rest. We LOVE having the problem of too
many great projects to choose from!
More information about the specific awards as well as past winners
can be found on Preservation Durham's website
(http://www.preservationdurham.org/awards/pyne.html) where there is
also a link to the nomination form
(http://www.preservationdurham.org/awards/Nominations.htm). Though
the existing form is designed to be printed and filled in by hand,
feel free to simply call or e-mail me with your nominations instead
of mailing in a paper nomination (it will actually expedite the
process). Just be prepared to give me a quick idea of the scope of
the project as well as the contact information for the owner (so we
can set up a tour for the committee).
One last thing. We would like to start reviewing the projects as
early as February with hopes of having toured all of the nominated
properties by the end of April. For that reason, we would like to
have the nominations in by March 1. The Preservation Durham website
lists an April 1 deadline, but we need to have the majority of
nominations in much sooner in order to schedule enough time to visit
& evaluate the projects.
If you have any questions or would like to nominate a project you can
contact me at the information below.
Thanks!
