The Society of Architectural Historians is accepting applications for the 2015 SAH Award for Film and Video. Established in 2013, the SAH Award for Film and Video recognizes the most distinguished work of film or video on the history of the built environment.
The topic of the film or video must be any aspect of the built environment including the history of buildings, interiors, monuments, landscapes, cultural landscapes, urbanism, designers, engineers, clients, preservation, conservation, citizen engagement, or other topics related to the history of the built environment. The most important criterion is the work's contribution to the understanding of the built environment, defined either as deepening that understanding or as bringing that understanding to new audiences. A second criterion is a high standard of research and analysis, whether the production was for a scholarly audience, a general audience, or both. A third criterion is excellence in design and production.
The deadline to apply for the 2015 SAH Award for Film and Video is Friday, August 1, 2014. To learn more about the award, eligibility requirements, and to apply, visit sah.org/film-award.
