Wendy Allen Award
Harold Holzer, Stephen Herr, Jonathan W. White, and Wendy Allen
Each year, The Lincoln Forum presents at its annual symposium a special award to a Lincoln or Civil War institution or organization that has achieved widespread recognition for bringing learning, scholarship, and enlightenment to a wide public. The award comes in the form of a framed color print of an original Lincoln painting by acclaimed Gettysburg-based artist Wendy Allen, who generously makes her work available for the honorees.
Applicants are invited to send a summary of their recent achievements, programs, and innovative outreach.
