You are at: The Best In Heritage / Archive / Awarded institutions
The list of awarded institutions and award schemes is the result of our research and is by no means complete yet. We believe that our event gives a new dimension to their effort. The enormous, responsible task the numerous professional and other juries have performed is given yet another chance to be recognised internationally and within a broad range of heritage professionals that gather in Dubrovnik. We offer no prize as this hard work has already been done. What audience in Dubrovnik (coming from 18 countries in 2002 event), can do is offering a symbolic prize to the projects best presented. That stresses the need of articulated and concise presentation so that the present experts can profit from the experience and learn by the power of the award winning examples.
