Malstrom Award Nominations are requested !

The League of Snohomish County Heritage Organizations invites individuals and groups to submit nominations for their heritage projects in Snohomish County completed in 2013.

The League’s Malstrom Awards are offered to recognize outstanding contributions to preserving our heritage in Snohomish County and to share experience, skills and resources. We encourage and welcome applications of all types and sizes to help acknowledge those that may go unnoticed outside of our local communities.

Eligible activities include historic preservation of architecture, cultural sites, historical or genealogical research/collections, exhibits, publications (print and online), video/film and museum work. While an individual may be named to represent the project, it is usually the project and not the individual for which the award is made.

Mail Nominations to: Margaret Riddle 4715 Greely St. Everett, WA 98203 425-355-7741 theriddles@msn.com

Malstrom Applications due Feb 15th, 2014

Beginning this year, if there are more than two publications nominated, there may be two awards given, one for a publication and one for a project.

The winner will be announced and honored at this year’s Heritage Day luncheon, March 1, 2014.

You can find an application on the League website at
