HomeMy WebLinkAboutNomination Rubric2018 Preservation Awards Judge Guide Overview The City of Bozeman Historic Preservation Advisory Board as part of its mission seeks to recognize and celebrate those individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions towards preserving Bozeman’s unique historic and cultural resources. The Preservation Awards program is a board driven awards program and event. All awards categories are based on the Secretary of the Interior Standards and Guidelines which board members are familiar with. Each award category reflects diverse preservation related projects, though some nominations may qualify for various categories. The categories are broad and apply to the type of preservation work occurring within Bozeman, though certain minimum standards are needed to achieve acceptance as reflected in the Standards. Board member judges will use a rubric scoring card to quantitatively asses various nominations. The rubrics are intended to be used by judges to determine the project has meet the minimum criteria and narrow down the field of contenders for each award category. While the rubric is quantitative in nature, judges are expected to apply their qualitative judgement. Awards winning projects should be decided by a majority vote, not a quantitative score decision. The Secretary of the Interior Standards and Guidelines The Standards are a series of concepts about maintaining, repairing, and replacing historic materials, as well as designing new additions or making alterations. The Guidelines refer to general design and technical recommendations to assist in applying Standards to a specific project. Both the Standards and Guidelines are used to inform and develop the Bozeman Design Guidelines for Historic Preservation, a document used to determine appropriate modifications to properties within Historic Districts and the Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District. The Standards, Guidelines and Bozeman Design Guidelines should be used to quantitatively evaluate Preservation Award nominations. Preservation Related Terms: 1.
