The Živa Award has been established in 2012 on the initiative of an expert project group from the Forum of Slavic Culture member countries.

These are the attributes that should describe also condition of Slavic heritage. With the award we would like to recognize excellence in the sector of movable and immovable heritage in a special region in Europe, promote the best practices in the tangible cultural heritage and also to stimulate exchanges of knowledge and experience throughout our countries and beyond. We would like also to encourage further exemplary initiatives through the power of example.
