February 24, 2018 |
For 41 years, Preservation Idaho has hosted the
Orchids and Onions Awards, an awards ceremony
designed to celebrate individuals and
organizations that have made a positive
contribution to historic preservation, as well
as to bring awareness to those projects that
have shown insensitivity to the state’s cultural
history.
Orchids are granted to outstanding examples of
preservation projects or practices in the
following categories:
• Excellence in Historic Preservation;
• Contribution to Historic Preservation;
• Distinguished Preservationist;
• Friend of Preservation;
• Cultural Heritage Preservation;
• Heritage Stewardship; and
• Preservation-Sensitive New Construction.
• Scott Chandler Award for Excellence in Craftsmanship
Onions are awarded to projects that jeopardize
Idaho’s cultural resources.
Nomination form and a description of Orchid
award criteria can be accessed by

Nominations are due by Friday, March 30.
An impartial jury is appointed by Preservation
Idaho to review nominations. The jury is
composed of preservationists, historians and
architects who evaluate nominations based on the
information they contain.
The award ceremony will take place in the Hayes
Auditorium, Boise Public Library, S715 Capitol
Boulevard at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 19, during
Preservation Month. A reception and tours of the
adjacent Cabin, constructed in 1939 as the Idaho
State Forester’s Building and listed on the
National Register of Historic Places, will be
conducted following the awards ceremony.
