You are at: The Best In Heritage / Event / 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 every year. We offer no prize as this hard work has already been done. To encourage the quality of presentation, the audience in Dubrovnik is offering a symbolic prize to the project best presented. Our fellow professionals, some 450 of them till now, coming from 37 countries, mostly suggested we continue this practice. Well articulated, technologically supported and concise presentations thus become a true profit for the audience and let them learn by the power of the award winning examples.
