Given the global health pandemic has permeated the duration of the contest, the AAE has suspended its landmarks contest initiative and will be donating the prize money equally among all groups. The Association – with the blessing and support of all landmark preservationist partners – felt it was best to show unity at a time when we need it most.

When we launched this contest in February the world was a completely different place than it is today. We hope our contributions will act as a gesture of coming together in tough times and be helpful toward preserving all four beautiful landmarks for brighter days ahead.

The AAE is considering various options for providing donated care following the pandemic, when we can ensure the safety and wellbeing of the community we are serving and the medical professionals providing care.
