[Durham INC] seeking Annual Preservation Award Nominees

[Ellen Dagenhart]

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!

Heather M. Wagner
