Kimball Prize

Landmarks, Inc has launched an excellence in historic architecture awards program for area high school students. The Corby Theater, located on the corner of N. 16th and Corby Streets, is this year's topic. The Kimball Prize will give student the opportunity to imagine how the building could be reused today, as well as research the surrounding community to understand the building's history. Skills in writing, art and math will also be highlighted by student work which will be judged on April 24, 2009.

Landmarks sponsors the Kimball Prize to promote awareness of historic buildings in Omaha. The prize, named for one of Omaha's most accomplished architects, is designed to recognize high school students who demonstrate an understanding of historical Omaha architecture. One team will be selected for a $1500 scholarship. Browse the Kimball Prize portal for more information.
