Awards of Excellence
Each year since 2013, the Québec Religious Héritage Council has recognized each year, through the Awards of Excellence, some outstanding achievements that reflect the commitment, innovation and passion of Quebecers for their religious heritage. Two award categories highlight the commitment of individuals to the promotion and enhancement of religious heritage. These people are essential actors in the ecosystem of safeguarding these cultural treasures.
The call for nominations for the 2024 CPRQ Awards of Excellence is now closed. The announcement of the winners and the presentation of the plaques will take place during our Annual Forum on September 19, 2024 at the Auberge de la Pointe, Rivière-du-Loup. We look forward to seeing you there!
This year, you also have the opportunity to vote for the People's Choice Award, which will reward the restoration, reuse or enhancement project that has made the most impression on you! The description of the candidate projects and the votes are online until August 12, 2024.
If you have any questions, you can contact Alicia Tremblay (atremblay@patrimoine-religieux.qc.ca) and Anaïs Andraud (aandraud@patrimoine-religieux.qc.ca).
