exhaustive list of projects awarded in 2022 globally
Every year in December, the Best in Heritage organizers propose a handpicked list of award-winning projects, out of multitude of them. They have all received a prize during that year (preceding the conference at which they will be shown); the final list is then approved by the Advisory Board and partners. That final selection will contain 28 projects in the core programme and 14 projects in the preceding multimedia / new technologies segment IMAGINES.
