Partners in Preservation Committee
What are the Partners in Preservation Awards?
Each year, the Oakland Heritage Alliance (OHA) honors individuals, organizations, projects, and programs whose work demonstrates a commitment to excellence in historic preservation. In doing so, we hope to inspire others to take action to preserve, protect, and promote Oakland’s historic, natural, and cultural resources.
All winners are honored during an annual Awards Ceremony and Reception. The date, time, and location of the event will be announced at a later time.
Eligibility
Nominated projects must have been completed within the geographical boundaries of Oakland within the last five years. Projects not yet completed will not be considered.
Nominations may be submitted without the knowledge of the nominee.
Self-nominations will be accepted.
Nominations that are not selected for awards in previous years may be revised and resubmitted, provided the five-year time limit has not been exceeded.
