The Forum of Slavic Cultures (FSK) is excited to announce that the Živa Awards 2025 Ceremony will take place in the beautiful city of Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from October 8 to October 12, 2025. Known for its rich history, stunning architecture, and vibrant cultural scene, Trebinje provides the perfect backdrop for this prestigious event celebrating excellence in the preservation of Slavic cultural heritage.
The Živa Awards Ceremony is more than just an awards presentation—it is a gathering of museum and heritage professionals, cultural leaders, and visionaries from across Slavic nations and beyond. It offers a platform for dialogue, collaboration, and innovation in the field of cultural preservation.
The ceremony will bring together representatives from museums, heritage sites, and cultural organizations to celebrate excellence in three main categories: Best Slavic Museum, Best Slavic Heritage Site and brand new category: Best in Preserving Slavic Heritage Worldwide.
In addition to the awards, attendees will enjoy a rich program that include inspiring keynote speeches and expert-led panels, opportunities to network with cultural heritage professionals, cultural tours of Trebinje, showcasing the city’s history, heritage, and hospitality and the unveiling of the Živa Awards winners during a gala ceremony.
