HERITAGE BC SEEKS NOMINATIONS FOR BC HERITAGE AWARD

Deadline for receipt of nominations:  September 30, 2008

The British Columbia Heritage Award is conferred annually by the
Minister responsible for heritage. The award recognizes an individual
whose long term leadership and contributions to the conservation and
presentation of British Columbia's heritage have been exemplary.  The
award includes a ministry gift of $10,000 to a non-profit
heritage-related organization or project, designated by the award
recipient. 

Any person who fulfills the award criteria may be nominated. Nominees
should have a minimum of 10 years involvement with heritage 
concerns
in the province, and have made personal contributions to the field
well beyond the terms of any heritage-related employment. Their
efforts to preserve, promote, interpret, or otherwise encourage
heritage conservation and awareness should demonstrate either
exceptional diversity or a strong focus on a specific discipline.
Improved public understanding and appreciation of British Columbia's
heritage should be a consequence of their endeavors.

Nominations can be made by any individual or organization. The
nomination should include: a signed cover letter; a detailed (one
page) statement about the nominee's eligibility and contribution to
heritage; attachments, if any, such as letters of support, press
clippings and other relevant material; and contact information
(telephone, email, and postal address) for both the nominee and the
nominator.  Nominations must be received by Heritage BC by 
September
30.
