Celebration of Preservation recognizes exemplary historic preservation projects across northeast Ohio each May, during National Historic Preservation Month. A joint program of the American Institute of Architects Cleveland Chapter and the Cleveland Restoration Society, the awards ceremony and reception is the event that highlights recently completed projects and brings together the people that make them happen.

Awards are selected by a jury of historic preservation experts and architects. Individuals, businesses, and organizations are recognized for demonstrated excellence, community impact, innovation and outstanding commitment to historic preservation.
