It’s that time of year! Dade Heritage Trust is accepting nominations for its 2020 Preservation Awards. These annual awards are open to any individual, organization, business or agency involved in historic preservation in Miami-Dade County.
There is no limit on the number of nominations that one applicant can submit, and nominations may be made without the knowledge of the nominee(s). However, owners of properties, if not the applicant, must provide written consent. Self-nominations will be accepted.
“We know protecting and preserving Miami-Dade County’s historic sites is not always easy,” said Christine Rupp, executive director of DHT. “But it’s the incredible dedication by local organizations and individuals, year-in and year-out, to preserve these historic places for generations to come that are making a difference.”
The deadline for the 2020 Preservation Awards nominations is March 10, 2020. The application is available at www.dadeheritagetrust.org.
The Preservation Award winners will be honored during DHT’s Annual Meeting at the Woman’s Club of Coconut Grove on April 2. Tickets for the event are $75 for members and $100 for non-members, and can be purchased at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/
