CALCA FAQ


Below, the most frequently
asked questions about the
CALCA Commendation award.

What?

Why?

To encourage and recognize outstanding achievements in exterior preservation, exterior restoration, exterior rehabilitation and new construction within historic areas of Calcasieu Parish.

Who?

Deadline for submitting nominations is September 30th. Formal notification of nomination results will be made no later than December 1st.

Determination

Award nominations are accepted by the CHPS Landmarks Committee with a nominating deadline of September 1st. All nominations are reviewed by the committee with recommendations for selection then made to the Society's Board of Directors. The Board of Directors then makes the final selection of award recipients.

Nomination

The nomination form or written request should be completed and returned to the CHPS and should state reasons why you feel the property should receive the award. Before and after photos of the property should be attached or e-mailed, if possible.

Presentation

The awards are presented annually at the Society's January Membership Meeting. The date on the certificate refers to the year the building received the award. In addition to the certificate, the recipients are given a complementary membership for one year in the Calcasieu Historic Preservation Society.
