Mahoning Valley Historical Society (MVHS) seeks nominees for its annual Historic Preservation Awards program.
The program recognizes outstanding revitalization projects and people who have made an impact on preservation in the local community. The MVHS Historic Preservation Awards are underwritten by the Schwebel Family Foundation.
Call-for-entry details are being sent to members and various businesses, organizations, government offices and individuals across the Mahoning Valley, but anyone can nominate a project. After a judging process is completed in May, which is National Historic Preservation Month, award winners will be recognized during the MVHS 151st Annual Membership Meeting on June 23.
Digital submissions must be received by Thursday, April 30, 2026. All complete entries will be judged by a special panel of local experts in early May. Winning submissions will include property owners, project designers/managers or individuals who have made significant accomplishments in local preservation, along with their nominators. Eligible projects must have been completed by March 1, 2026.
Over 70 projects and individuals have received a Historic Preservation Award since 2005, the year of its inception.
Questions and comments about the nomination process, as well as how to obtain a nomination form, may be directed to MVHS at 330-743-2589 or mv**@*************ry.org.
