Competition
The 1 st place winning storyboard of each competition will be professionally transformed into an animated film and included in the Patrimonito’s World Heritage Cartoon Series as a new episode. Both episodes will be shown during the closing ceremony of the 40th anniversary of the World Heritage Convention in November 2012.
Patrimonito Storyboard Competition
In 2002 a cartoon series entitled Patrimonito's World Heritage Adventures was launched where Patrimonito introduces World Heritage sites, the threats they are facing and proposes solutions to preserve them.
Storyboards were chosen following a competition among secondary school pupils to raise their awareness of the importance of World Heritage and their role in preserving it. The competition was organized by UNESCO on the occasion of the celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the World Heritage Convention in 2002. The award-winning storyboards are professionally animated and produced in CD-ROM format for global diffusion to schools and at World Heritage Youth events. The cartoon films are based on storyboards made ‘by young people for young people' and selected during a Patrimonito Storyboard Competition. They are proving to be useful teaching support materials. They are becoming popular at events held by UNESCO.
