Awarded projects - Nominated Members of the Excellence Club
The list of awarded institutions and award schemes is the result of our research and it is our intention to make it complete and keep it updated. The main intention is to become the most reliable resource when about quality and excellence.
All those institutions or projects that gained national or international award or prize we consider deserving to be nominated for the global, professional Excellence Club. If we do not find you, - you find us. Therefore, if you are the one, we encourage you to send us whatever you might find representing your quality well, be it a text, slide presentation or a video and can be placed on our web site.
Those who make it to Dubrovnik, and present their achievement to the international professional public, we admit as full members and place their entire presentation on our web site. Some of them present themselves also at The Best in Heritage / Europa Nostra Excellence Club at Exponatec, biannual fair in Cologne.
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. We believe that our event gives a new dimension to their effort.
We offer no prize as this hard work of evaluation has already been done.
Yet, to encourage the quality of presentation, the audience in Dubrovnik is offering a symbolic prize to the project formally best presented. Our fellow professionals, over more than 900 of them until now, coming from 41 countries, used one word most often in the questionnaires they filled up. That was "inspiration".
Well articulated, technologically supported and concise presentations (following presenters' instructions) of what was nationally or internationally proclaimed exceptional thus become true profit for the audience. They like the power of good example.

EU Prize for Cultural Heritage
Category 1 – Conservation
The Kesälahti Church Bell Tower, Kesälahti Finland – the Jury highly appreciates the strict
methodology and skilful craftsmanship undertaken to ensure that the Kasälahti Church Bell Tower can
stand as a unique piece of European Wooden Heritage for future generations.
Mátra Museum, Gyöngyös Hungary – the Jury has awarded a Grand Prize to the Mátra Museum as
it presents an outstanding example of harmonious coexistence of a careful historical restoration and
the incorporation of contemporary architecture. The ensemble has regained the authentic complexity
and completeness of the property while employing high levels of standard and quality.
Chiesa di Santi Faustino e Giovita, Fasano di Gardone Riviera Italy – the Jury deems the
restoration of the Chruch of Saints Faustino and Giovita is more profound than just returning it to its
original state. The monument, ever vulnerable to seismic activity, has a central place in the sociocultural
identity of its community. It has also a strategic value in the landscape of Lake Garda, whose
integrity continues to be transformed and compromised today.
High Level Bridge, Newcastle Gateshead United Kingdom – the Jury was enormously impressed
with the level of engineering professionalism shown in this project, from original research into the
fatigue performance of cast-iron, down to the restoration of the original lamp standards. The granting
of a Grand Prize represents the importance the Jury attached to the retention in day-to-day use of
such engineering icons of our industrial heritage.
Category 2 – Research
The Noah’s Ark Project – the Jury commends this groundbreaking and high quality research for its
ability to clearly demonstration the risk that climate change poses to Europe’s cultural heritage. The
Jury hopes that awarding a Grand Prize to this project will lead to efforts to conduct a pan-European
cultural heritage environmental assessment that will be constantly updated.
Category 3 – Dedicated Service
Dr Glenn Murray, Segovia Spain – the Jury has given a Grand Prize to Dr Glenn Murray for his
great efforts to save the famous Segovia Mint. He founded the Friends of Segovia Mint Association
and for over 20 years has devoted himself to the on-going conversion of this historic site into an
important museum.
Category 4 – Education, Training and Awareness-Raising
Sustainable Aegean Programme, Athens Greece – the Jury appreciates the programme’s
pedagogic approach, while combining the mobilisation of the local population to protect its own
heritage through ongoing initiatives that integrate aspects of environmental protection with controlled
building development within the urban spaces and by creating an alternative dynamic for the regional
economy.
