HPAB Preservation Awards
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.
