The Jean-Paul-L’Allier Prize for Heritage 2019

This prize is awarded every second year to a city that is a member of the OWHC, and that has distinguished itself by its achievement toward the conservation, enhancement or management of property on the World Heritage List.

The Jean-Paul-L’Allier Prize was created in honour of the Founding President of the OWHC, an international organization whose seat is in Québec, Canada. Mayor of Québec from 1989 to 2005, Mr. Jean-Paul L’Allier demonstrated through his initiative that he cared for the cultural and heritage development of his city. A strong leader, he helped bring together all the world heritage cities with the creation of the OWHC.

The cities that wish to submit their candidacy have until November 30, 2018 to do so. The name of the winning city will be officially revealed on June 2, 2019, at the opening ceremony of the 15^th World Congress of the OWHC, in Krakow, Poland.
