The 2010 Sonata Awards Competition continues the tradition of recognizing excellence within the design industry in Louisiana.

Just as beauty is captured in musical form, the Sonata Awards was created to embrace the rich culture and originality of our state by recognizing exceptional beauty and creative excellence within the design industry in Louisiana. Each year our prestigious panel of judges is given the daunting task of selecting our winners from hundreds of submissions from local designers, architects and artists, both at the professional and amateur levels.

This year, The Preservation Resource Center has been chosen as a recipient of the proceeds from the Sonata Award Ceremony! Save the date for the afternoon of Sunday, August 15, 2010 to celebrate Louisiana’s talented designers.
