The quality and range of nominations was very impressive, showcasing high level technical work and also grassroots contributions to heritage conservation and learning. We hope that we can continue to raise the profile of this important sector through these Awards in years to come&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>Carla Pianese, IHBC`s Support Officer said: \u2018We were pleased to see that the standard of nominations across both categories was extremely high and we hope that more and more nominations will be encouraged and promoted every year. We also offer a second opportunity for the unsuccessful candidate to be nominated again for a second round so that will offer another chance.\u00a0 As the Awards are gaining more awareness, competition is fierce and the next IHBC Marsh Awards will close in February 2019, so be sure to start planning your nominations now!
