Editorial guidelines

These tips will make your writing clear, powerful, informative — and to inspire action:

    • Instead of: “This heritage is very important for the local community.”
      Say: “This site hosts annual rituals and is central to the community’s identity.”

    • Instead of: “According to the law…”
      Specify: “Article X of Law explains that …”

    • Instead of: “The construction will obstruct the monument.”
      Explain: “The tower will be built directly adjacent to the main entrance, permanently altering its visibility and access.”

  • Add maps, site plans, timelines, or photos where possible. Visuals improve understanding and strengthen arguments.

    • Be clear about where the event is happening and whose perspective is represented.

    • Don’t universalize local or national events.

    • If the post is about a German policy or a Greek site, say so in the title, summary, and text.

    • This helps avoid unintentionally silencing or overshadowing other narratives.

A quick note before you share

To keep our platform accessible and inclusive:

  • OWH prioritises promoting freely accessible events.

  • OWH cannot promote events without a livestream or online access.

  • OWH can only accept contributions that follow the OWH Ethical Contribution Guidelines (direct PDF download). A dedicated committee will soon be installed.

  • OWH is not automatically associated with the event or post, and can not be held responsible for its content.Submissions are published on the website first, ahead of being included in the following newsletter.

  • OWH may carry out necessary editorial work to improve clarity, readability, and alignment with our style (see guidelines above)—but the essence of your message should remain the same. Changes for authored pieces are always first discussed with the author.

  • Readers tips cannot promote own work.

  • By sending content to worldheritage.2022[at]gmail.com, you:

    1) agree to the terms above; and
    2) give OWH the publishing rights of the content of this form.
