The Upstate History Alliance (UHA) is currently soliciting nominations for

reward staff & volunteers, and provide incentives for developing new and
innovative projects.

Please consider nominating an outstanding project for our 2004 Awards. Any
organization or affiliated individual in UHA's 36-county region of New York
is eligible to be nominated. Projects need to have been completed in 2003.
Full details on eligibility, awards categories, judging criteria, nomination
