Nominations for the Oregon Stewardship Award must be submitted electronically between January 27 and March 09, 2025. Before completing the nomination form, confirm that your nominated project aligns with the museum’s mission to inspire stewardship of our collective, past, present, and future, and that this alignment is clearly demonstrated within your nomination.

The Museum Advisory Council's taskforce considers the unique efforts of each organization or individual as substantive areas of review for this award, be they established enterprises or new grassroots efforts. The Oregon Stewardship Award values uplifting distinct, creative, and resilient projects, highlighting lesser-known histories, and enhancing diverse dialogue.

The taskforce may validate statements within applications to substantiate authenticity.

If you have questions or need help filling out the form, please reach out to Ruth Hyde at rhyde@uoregon.edu.
