National Trust for Historic Preservation Issues Call for Nominations for the 2011 National Preservation Awards Each year the National Trust for Historic Preservation celebrates the best of preservation by presenting National Preservation Awards to individuals and organizations whose contributions demonstrate excellence in historic preservation. We invite you to nominate a deserving individual, organization, agency, or project for a National Preservation Award. The nomination deadline for all awards is February 17, 2011. In 2011 we are pleased to announce that we will be selecting the first American Express Aspire awardee.  This award will recognize an emerging leader in preservation. Other awards include the Trustees' Awards, National Trust/Advisory Council on Historic Preservation Award, National Trust/HUD Secretary's Award, the Peter H.
