Nomination Process
Cornerstone Award
Eligibility
Except as expressly stated otherwise, both the Cornerstone Award and the Sophia Long Award are
open for recognition of any person, group, organization, business, firm, or government agency or office.
Those ineligible for either of the awards are: current employees of Cornerstones, Inc., current
members of the Executive Committee of Cornerstones, Inc. and previous winners of the same award
(in the case of the Cornerstone Award, only for the same project).
Criteria
The criteria for the Cornerstone Award are:
-
Significance - The Project shall have historical or architectural importance for
Hamilton County in a way that merits the Project's preservation. It is not necessary for
projects to be both historically significant and architecturally significant.
-
Quality - The Project shall display excellence of workmanship and craftsmanship,
including the care and attention given towards the preservation of historic elements of
the Project. These criteria will include conformity to any applicable professional
standards and/or regulatory guidelines or requirements. It is intended that the
Project be a model example for similar projects, exemplary in its design and
technical implementation.
-
Innovation - The Project shall have exhibited creative solutions towards overcoming
the difficulties of preservation, the use of innovative technologies or products,
and the implementation concepts and strategies, which are adaptive and dynamic in
preserving the Project.
-
Aesthetics - The Project shall have demonstrated appropriate awareness, consciousness,
and sensitivity to the aesthetic elements that make the Project historically and/or
are architecturally significant, including image, form, context, materials, design,
texture, and construction.
-
Impact - The preservation and/or end use of the Project shall have demonstrated a
positive impact on the neighborhood of the larger community.
It is not necessary for the award recipient to meet or satisfy all of the criteria.
Instead, these criteria are intended to be instructive factors both to those who would
make nominations for the award and to the awards committee in assessing the nominations.
