Current call for application

​

The call for applications 2024 is closed and the winner will be announced at the Nordic World Heritage Conference in September 2024. New application will open after this years conference.

​

The Nordic countries share the strong commitment to democracy, strong civil society and community involvement. The idea of the Nordic World Heritage Award is to elevate the outstanding contributions that the Nordic World Heritage Sites and their stakeholders do to connect the local communities to the outstanding universal values of the sites. 

Do you – or your partners – excel in the community involvement? Maybe you bring new life to the site through dissemination. Or maybe you have generated sustainable growth through your business. Or maybe your work helps local people to understand and protect the core values of the site. The survival of the World Heritage Sites is dependent on the involvement of local stakeholders – businesses, NGOs, private citizens.

The award

The City of Rauma donated the award to the Nordic World Heritage Association at the Nordic World Heritage Conference in 2017. It is made of elm tree and copper. The names of the winners of the Nordic World Heritage Award will be carved on the award plaque. The winner will be announced at the annual Nordic World Heritage Conference and the winner holds possession of the artwork until next year annual conference. The Board of the Nordic World Heritage Association will choose the winner in the Annual Meeting of the Association.
