Applications may be submitted by any residence or business owner, professional representative, CPS member or interested party. 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
