Description: The European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage
was launched in 2002 by the European Commission as part of the implementation
of the Culture Programme, which has now been succeeded by the Creative Europe
Programme. Europa Nostra, the Voice of Cultural Heritage in Europe, was
reappointed in 2014 to run this awards scheme on the basis of its long
experience in publicly recognising individual or joint excellence in the field
of cultural heritage at a European level.
The European Union Prize for Cultural
Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards is granted annually to identify and promote
best practices in the conservation of tangible and intangible cultural
heritage, to stimulate the transfrontier exchanges of knowledge and experience
throughout Europe, to enhance public awareness and appreciation of Europe’s
cultural heritage, and to encourage further excellent initiatives through the
power of example.
Outstanding heritage
achievements will be awarded in the following categories:
·
Conservation
·
Research
·
Dedicated service by
individuals or organisations
·
Education, training
and awareness-raising
In 2017, the Awards will be given to up to 30 remarkable
heritage projects and initiatives in four categories. Up to seven will be
selected as Grand Prix winners and receive €10,000 each. One will get the
Public Choice Award.
