UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation 2023

About the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation Programme 2023

The UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation (‘Awards’) recognizes exemplary efforts by individuals and organizations to restore or conserve structures, places and properties of heritage value in the region. It encourages property owners to undertake conservation projects within their communities, either independently or by public-private partnerships.

Since it was first established in 2000, the Awards programme has recognized 278 projects from 27 Asia-Pacific countries for their thorough understanding of their sites; their sound technical achievements; and their demonstration of social, economic and environmental impacts at all levels.

Program Details

In recognizing these practices, the Awards programme has contributed to meaningful achievements in advancing a regional conversation about what constitutes cultural heritage, who has a stake in its stewardship, and how cultural heritage can contribute to the sustainable well-being of cities, societies and the environment.

The Awards programme is supported by a partnership between UNESCO and Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation (NTFCF) since 2021.

Under this strategic collaboration, NTFCF is supporting five Awards cycles (2021–2025) and an accompanying series of specially tailored capacity-building activities, such as the Heritage Apprentice initiative and the Sustainable Heritage Management Masterclass Series, thus amplifying the regional impact of the Awards programme.

Eligibility Requirements

Projects entries must have been completed within the last 10 years (February 2013 – June 2023 if pre-existing use was retained, or June 2022 if a project has a new use). Houses, commercial and institutional buildings, historic towns and villages, archaeological sites and cultural landscapes, for example, are all suitable for submission.

How to Apply

In addition, the project dossier with supporting documentation, including a description of the project in the official format, and drawings and photographs in hard and soft copy formats, should be posted to UNESCO Bangkok by mail
