The Metropolitan Historical Commission is now accepting nominations for the 50th Annual Preservation Awards program, honoring Nashville's best preservation projects. Anyone may nominate buildings or structures that have been restored, rehabilitated, or carefully maintained over time. The awards also recognize well-designed new construction that harmonizes with a historic environment. To be considered, nominated properties must be located in Davidson County and have an original construction date of 1976 or earlier (50 years of age). Infill projects should be no older than 2023. All projects must have been completed within the past three years. Previous winners may be eligible if the work is significantly different.
Nominations are due by 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 1, 2026.
The awards ceremony will take place in May 2026 in recognition of National Preservation Month. For more program details and submission instructions, please visit our Preservation Awards page.
