EU PRIZE FOR CULTURAL HERITAGE / EUROPA NOSTRA AWARDS. Deadline
for Entries: 1 October 2008
The European Union Prize for Cultural Heritage was launched in 2002
by the European Commission as part of the implementation of the
Culture Programme. Europa Nostra, the Pan-European Federation for
Cultural Heritage, was selected to run this Awards Scheme on the
basis of its long experience in publicly recognising - on a European
level - individual or joint excellence in the field of Cultural
Heritage. The EU Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards
are granted annually to identify and promote best practices in the
conservation of tangible cultural heritage, to stimulate the exchange
of knowledge and experience throughout Europe, to enhance public
awareness and appreciation of Europe's cultural heritage, and to
encourage further exemplary 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
The EU Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards consist
of two award levels. Up to six entries will be awarded a Prize,
which includes a monetary award of € 10 000. Up to twenty-five
entries will be awarded a Medal. Criteria for the assessment of
entries include excellence in the work executed and preliminary
research conducted, as well as respect for artistic, cultural and
social value, setting, authenticity and integrity. Special attention
will also be paid to sustainability, interpretation and presentation,
educational work, funding and management, and social responsibility.
Entries can be on a scale ranging from small to large, local to
international, and should display a standard of work considered
outstanding in a European context.

Adopt-a-Wreck
AWARD
The 'Adopt a wreck' programme and awards scheme is part of a wider
'Dive with a purpose' initiative by the NAS to encourage divers
and others to appreciate and preserve our underwater heritage. The
hope is that groups will look at a site more closely, and take on
a minimum level of stewardship, monitoring how the site changes
over time. While the title suggests a shipwreck, and it is commonly
dive clubs that carry out adoption projects, neither is a requirement.
On land there is a range of harbour works and buildings with nautical
connections, coastal habitations, hulks and other sea wrack of archaeological
interest. Going back further in time to the ice age, much of the
North Sea and the English Channel were dry land - now it is underwater
archaeology...
