This awards programme seeks to recognize individuals and organizations from either the private or public sector who have demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to the preservation of London’s built heritage. Nominees may be proposed for their long-term dedication to the cause, for a single outstanding effort that made a notable difference, for strong leadership and vision in educating the public, or for actions that have brought about a positive outcome for built heritage in our City. The awards also seek to honour projects that have actually preserved part of our built heritage.
The awards will therefore be given in two broad categories.

To individuals in the fields of education, awareness or advocacy.
Projects that have preserved built heritage.

The number of awards given each year will be at the discretion of the Awards Committee.

To do so, please fill in a nomination form online at one of the websites below, or submit (via surface mail, fax, or email), the name and address of the individual, project or organization you are nominating, a description of their achievements no more than one page in length, and contact information including phone numbers for the nominator and for two further supporters of the nomination.
