Landmarks
awards promote Hastings civic pride
Outstanding
features created around Hastings will be recognized when the
2011 Landmarks awards are handed out this week.
The
annual awards recognize projects which make a significant
contribution to the promotion of the districts image,
identity, place and civic pride.
This year's awards
will have a new category which will reward signage that
compliments the architectural features and era of the
building.
Other awards will be made for architecture,
landscape, history, public art and façade enhancement, with
the overall winner being presented the Jeremy Dwyer Supreme
award.
Landmarks Trust President Joyce Barry says" the
trust was created by former Mayor, the late Jeremy Dwyer in
an effort to promote civic pride through the enhancement of
the natural and built environment."
"The awards are an
integral part of recognising those who are instrumental in
enhancing the image of our community," Mrs Barry
says.
The guest speakers at the awards function will
be architect Graham Linwood and artist Jacob Scott, who will
discuss the exciting plans to save John Scott's iconic
headquarters at Lake Waikaremoana.
The awards will be
presented by Hastings Deputy Mayor Cynthia Bowers in the
Shakespeare Room at the Hawke's Bay Opera House on Thursday
August 25th at 5.30. The ceremony will be held as part of
the Landmarks AGM and is open to the
public.
