About the Awards
Throughout Asia and the Pac'1fic, cultural heritag~ sit~s ar~ und~r thr~at. As heritag~ buildings and properties are largely 1n pr1vate ownership, the role of private individuals and institutions in protecting these vulnerable sites is paramount.
Recognizing this, UNESCO seeks to encourage private sector involvement and public-private collaboration in conserving the region's cultural her'1tage for the benefit of current and future generations.
The UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation recognize excellent achievement in successfully conserving or restoring hentage buildings and properties in the region by the private sector or by public-pnvate 1nitiatives.
In 2005, UNESCO launched the Jury Commendation for Innovation, now known as the Award for New Design in Heritage Contexts. This award recognizes newly built structures that demonstrate outstanding desifn well-integrated into historic contexts.
Since 2000, UNESCO has received 562 entries from 24 countnes. A total of 174 projects have rece·tved Awards for exemplary conservatiOn efforts, whtle 9 proJerts have recetved the jury Commendation for Innovation.

Call for Entries: 2015 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation
Bangkok, 25 November 2014 - Submissions are now being accepted for the 2015 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation. The Awards recognize the efforts of private individuals and organizations that have successfully restored or conserved structures, places and properties of heritage value in the region. The Awards emphasize the importance of the conservation process, including the technical achievements and quality of the restoration, as well as the social impact, including community involvement in the project.
Since the Awards were established in 2000, UNESCO has received 562 entries from 24 countries. A total of 174 projects have received Awards for high achievement in conservation, while 9 have received the Award for New Design in Heritage Contexts (previously known as the Jury Commendation for Innovation).
Projects involving heritage properties more than fifty years old which were completed within the last ten years are eligible for consideration in the conservation category. Houses, commercia! and institutional buildings, historic towns and villages, archaeological heritage sites and cultural landscapes, for example, are all suitable for entry. The awards aim to encourage others to undertake conservation projects within their communities, either independently or by seeking public-private partnerships.

in Heritage Contexts".
