Annual Awards Nominations

Landmarks' Members are invited to submit nominations for recipients of the annual awards, which are announced at Landmarks' Annual Meeting held in May.

The Harnett T. Kane Award was created and endowed by LLS founding member Harnett T. Kane in 1965, to be given in recognition of an individual or organization for significant lifetime contributions to historic preservation, locally or regionally. This award can be given to a member of Landmarks or to someone who is not a member.

The Louisiana Landmarks Service Award was created by the LLS Board in 2002 to honor members who worked to sustain Landmarks and Landmarks' goals. It is given to honor a member who has shown exceptional dedication to LLS and its work. (Current officers and trustees are not eligible until they have been off the Board for at least two years following the Annual Meeting when their term expired.)
