Once the nomination period closes, we share all eligible entries on our website. Visitors can cast a single vote per category.
Our panel of experts, including preservationists, community leaders, and past winners, also evaluates each entry. The judges’ scores and the public votes together determine the finalists.
Winners will be announced in a special ceremony, and they will receive an official Blue Sapphire Award plaque as well as a feature in our upcoming publication.
We believe in honoring the dedication, vision, and hard work that goes into upholding Philadelphia’s unique row home legacy. The Blue Sapphire Award exemplifies our commitment to supporting efforts that connect our past to our future—one row home at a time.
