Nominate a project for a Good Brick Award

Nominations for the 2025 Good Brick Awards will be accepted beginning in early summer 2024.

Preservation Houston has presented the Good Brick Awards since 1979 to recognize outstanding local contributions to the preservation, rehabilitation and enhancement of Houston’s architectural and cultural heritage. Anyone may submit a Good Brick Award nomination. Nominating yourself will not affect your chance of receiving an award.

Projects must be located in Harris County and must have been completed within five years of the year of nomination. Although historic buildings are generally considered to be 50 years or older, significant newer projects may qualify.

Anyone may nominate a project for a Good Brick Award, but the nominee(s) must be the property owner(s) who carried out the project. Nominating yourself will not hurt your chances to receive an award. Projects must be located in Harris County and must have been completed in the five years prior to the nomination deadline.


Nomination requirements

Nominations for the Good Brick Awards must be submitted using the official nomination form. A nomination package will include the nomination form; a project summary of 500 words or less; before, during and after photographs, if applicable; and a non-refundable $150 administrative fee.


Who chooses Good Brick Award recipients?

Award selections are made by an independent panel of jurors comprised of preservation and design professionals, former Good Brick Award recipients and community leaders. All jury decisions are final.
