This new initiative is the pilot for an annual Award scheme to celebrate Heritage Alliance’s members and to demonstrate the energy and achievements of heritage volunteers.
The Award, which is open to Alliance member organisations and their members, should showcase an inspirational project that was completed in the past 12 months (to May 2010) by a volunteer individual or team (professional work is not excluded if funded and managed by volunteer effort) where the project has had a long-term impact and commanded the respect of the sector. We’re particularly interested to hear about projects that are likely to appeal to a wider non-heritage audience and offer a powerful human story, which we can tell to the nation.
Proposals should be submitted in fewer than 500 words, with one image that encapsulates the project, by email before 31 July to Denis Dunstone; Transport Trust and member of the Alliance Board denis.dunstone@talktalk.net Enquiries should also go to Denis please, on 02795 941595.
Entries will be judged by The Alliance’s Chairman, Deputy Chairman, a Board member and the CEO. Their decision is final. The winner will be notified by 30 September and presented with the Award at The Alliance’s AGM & Heritage Day on 8 December at The Banqueting House, Whitehall. The member promoting the winner will be asked to produce a short slide show or video of the achievement (with technical support) for presentation to the audience at the event. The winner will also receive a memento of the event and PR / marketing exposure.
