Zagreb, April 2003.
Dear colleagues,
"THE BEST IN HERITAGE" is a major international forum which provides a
promotional spotlight on the most professionally creative and
educational heritage developments in Europe. Each year we provide an
international showcase and presentation forum for over twenty
award-winning and innovative projects, and present them to the wider
professional public and the international media.
This is not a competition. We do not evaluate these projects or give
prizes (except for the best presentation), - we just present their
excellence.
The gathering provides an international platform of promotion for the most
innovative and successful heritage developments in Europe. Last
year, more than one hundred representatives from over eighteen
European countries took the opportunity to see the latest developments and
hear the latest thinking on the public presentation of all aspects of
heritage in the community.
The projects presented are representative of the best European work in
museums, art galleries, landscape interpretation, historic buildings,
communication, presentation and publication.
In keeping with the principal concern of ICOM, we feel that the results
of major creative achievements deserve further attention and wider
dissemination. By its patronage of this event, ICOM supports an
important means of recognising and promoting successful practice in the
broadening field of heritage care and communication., as well as, from
this year, a forum of professional training.
The event for 2003 will be taking place in the beautiful and historic
city of Dubrovnik from September 18-20(23).
Dubrovnik is easy to get to by road or air and offers a unique
environment to meet international colleagues in a stimulating historic
setting, with the emphasis on exchanging views on the latest thinking and
developments in the heritage field.
To obtain further information, or to book your place at this unique
gathering of heritage expertise and international exchange of ideas,
please visit our web site http://www.TheBestInHeritage.com .
Please also let us know (in your country or your professional field) of
any prizes given for achievements in the heritage field that might, by
their quality and significance, be of interest to our international
gathering. Similarly, we would be interested to have your
recommendations of recent projects of quality (not necessarily the
prize-winners) that you think have a quality or significance worthy of
further international recognition. We will need the name and address of a
contact person for your suggested project, and/or the address of the
award-granting organisations.
We are always keen to ensure that the most significant projects, large
or small, are spotlighted in this showcase for international heritage
achievement.
Again, please contact us through the web site at
http://www.TheBestInHeritage.com
We Look forward to seeing you in Dubrovnik in September.
Sincerely,
Professor Tomislav Sola
European Heritage Association
