project of influence
awards winners 2015-2024
The Best in Heritage spreads the expertise of numerous professional juries to a broader, global audience. Each year, we capitalize on their praise-worthy work by identifying laureates who have exerted influence and served as sources of inspiration, essentially representing the innovators in the heritage sector. While traditionally this selection has been the responsibility of in-person conference participants and the Jury, in our online editions (2020-2024), the Jury took on this task.
