The annual Richmond Heritage Awards recognize the dedication of individuals and organizations for conservation of historic places as well as education and awareness about Richmond’s diverse heritage.

Anyone can submit a nomination to the Richmond Heritage Commission. Simply complete a one-page nomination form describing the nominee and their contribution.

Some of the ways an individual or organization may earn recognition are:

Historic buildings, cultural and natural heritage landscapes, artifacts, and oral and written histories are all rich resources that contribute to Richmond’s shared community identity today.
