Nominations for the Asia/Pacific Regional MOW Register may be submitted by any person or organization, including government and non-government organizations. However, priority will be given to nominations made by or through the relevant National MOW Committee, or failing that, through the relevant UNESCO National Commission. Priority will also be given to documentary heritage at risk.

Applicants are strongly advised to follow the prescribed procedures and format as laid down in the MOWCAP General Guidelines especially paragraphs 1.5 and 1.6. The MOWCAP Guildlines basically model after the General Guidelines to Safeguard Documentary Heritage (2002).

Two or more countries may put forward joint submissions where collections are divided among several owners or custodians of different countries in the region.

Nominations and supporting information for the Asia/Pacific Regional MOW Register should be sent to:

Mr. Simon Fook-keung CHU / Miss Helen Swinnerton
Secretary General of MOWCAP

Room 701, Hoseinee House, 69 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong
