Aspen Historic Preservation Honor Awards
Since 1990, the Aspen Historic Preservation Commission has celebrated local
historic preservation successes by presenting awards to individuals, companies, and
projects demonstrating excellence in preservation. There is no limit on the number
of awards that may be presented each year.
Evaluations take place each year and must meet the following criteria. Listed below
are the categories of which projects may qualify. Awards are selected solely by
HPC.
In order to assist in the evaluation, a point system has been developed. The award
categories and criteria are based on a number scale (1 is the least outstanding and 5
is the most outstanding).
All projects must be located within the City of Aspen. All projects must have been
completed in the last year. Generally HPC has expected nominees to have received
a C.O. or at least Final inspection.
