Fifth Annual Four Rivers Heritage Awards
September, 2008

Four Rivers seeks nominations for its fifth annual heritage awards. These awards recognize individuals, organizations, partnerships, programs and products that contribute significantly to the community by interpreting, promoting, preserving, researching and/or supporting our historical legacy. Awards are made in several different categories, including Heritage Tourism Product, Best New Heritage Initiative, Heritage Partnership, and Heritage Professional. This year, the heritage area encourages nominations for “green” or environmentally friendly heritage-related products and tours, as well as nominations that include the use of technology in heritage-related educational products and tours. Nominations are also requested for the Legacy Award, which recognizes an individual or group who continues or preserves a traditional craft or livelihood, and the Heritage Award, which goes to an individual or organization for significant and long-lasting contributions to local history and heritage. Self-nominations are accepted.

The nominations deadline is September 30, 2008. For more information, please call the heritage area office at 410-222-1805.
