The UK Government is preparing a new Tentative List of natural, cultural and mixed sites for potential nomination for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List, to be submitted to UNESCO in 2011, with a view to putting forward nominations to the World Heritage Committee from 2012.
The closing date for applications is: 11 June 2010
The Tentative List was last revised in 1999. This is the chance for all aspiring sites to be considered for possible nomination over the next five to ten years. Please spread the news of this process to appropriate organisations who might have an interest in suggesting a site.
All applications will be assessed by a panel of independent experts appointed by Government. The new Tentative List will be submitted to Ministers for approval before going forward to UNESCO in 2011.
Full details of how to apply including the necessary forms and an application pack can be found on the DCMS web-site at: http://www.culture.gov.uk/consultations/6740.aspx
