SHPO ACCEPTING AWARDS NOMINATIONS

The Oklahoma Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), is now accepting nominations for its 2018 awards program. Individuals, businesses, government agencies, and organizations contribute to the preservation of Oklahoma's heritage through rehabilitation/restoration projects, archeological site protection, field and archival research, publications, and public programming. Previous award recipients are featured on the SHPO's website at http://www.okhistory.org/shpo/shpoawards.htm. Submit a nomination and help the SHPO celebrate accomplishments like these and the many ways the National Historic Preservation Act impacts communities of all sizes.
The SHPO's awards program includes the Shirk Memorial Award for Historic Preservation and the SHPO's Citation of Merit. The deadline for nominations is 5:00pm, Friday, December 1, 2017, and nomination sponsors and award recipients will receive notice of the results of the selection process in February 2018. The awards will be presented at the banquet during Oklahoma's 30th Annual Statewide Preservation Conference in Tulsa (June 6-8, 2018).

The Shirk Memorial Award for Historic Preservation recognizes historic preservation programs or activities that have had statewide impact. The SHPO's Citation of Merit highlights noteworthy accomplishments in historic preservation at the state or local level.
