To celebrate achievements in preservation and revitalization in Oregon, Oregon Main Street invites you to submit nominations for our Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Awards. All nominations are due by Thursday, July 26, 2018.

Eligible Applicants
The Excellence in Downtown Revitalization Awards is open to all organizations participating in the "Main Street Track" of the Oregon Main Street Network, including Performing Main Street, Transforming Downtown, and Exploring Downtown levels.

Project Time Frame
If applicable, all projects must have been completed between July 2017 and June 2018. Projects or activities that received an award in previous years are not eligible unless there have been substantial changes or additions made during the nomination timeframe.

Submitting a Nomination
High resolution images are required for all submissions in jpeg or tif formats. Please limit the number of images to ten (10) and submit them digitally with brief corresponding descriptions and photo credits. Please feel free to include images of pamphlets, promotional materials, or newspaper articles if appropriate. Digital images become the property of Oregon Main Street and may be used for future presentations and publications. Don’t submit copyrighted photos unless they are accompanied by a release form from the photographer.

Review
A jury of downtown revitalization peers will review nominations to evaluate how the nomination meets the criteria described under each of the nomination categories. The jury reserves the right to eliminate categories if a reasonable number of worthy nominees haven’t been submitted in a given category. Award judges also reserve the right to move a nomination to a different category.

Winners will be announced, Wednesday, October 3, 2018, at a special Awards Celebration in beautiful downtown Albany.
