Awarded every two years, this international distinction was created pursuant to resolution 23, adopted by the General Conference at its 29th session, and decision 3.5.5, adopted by the Executive Board at its 155th session. As stipulated in the Regulations annexed to the aforementioned Board decision, the distinction concerns cultural spaces or forms of cultural expression of outstanding value in that they represent either a strong concentration of the intangible cultural heritage of outstanding value or a popular and traditional cultural expression of outstanding value from a historical, artistic, ethnological, sociological, anthropological, linguistic or literary point of view. Upon the recommendation of the International Jury for the First and Second Proclamations (2001 and 2003), UNESCO has so far proclaimed 47 Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity from all regions of the world. To facilitate the elaboration of candidature files, I enclose herewith the revised version of the Guide for the submission of candidatures, which contains the detailed criteria developed by the International Jury (Elche, Spain, September 2001), in accordance with paragraph 4(b) of the Regulations relating to the proclamation. I also enclose additional technical guidelines for the presentation of candidature files in the light of experience gained through the Second Proclamation, as well as the timetable for the Third Proclamation. The candidature files, which should be received by 30 September 2004 at the latest, should be drawn up in accordance with the standard form annexed to the aforementioned Guide, completed in English or French, and be sent to Mr Rieks Smeets, Chief of the Intangible Heritage Section, at the following address: UNESCO, 1 rue Miollis, Paris Cedex 15, France; tel.: + 33 (1) , fax: +33 (1) ; r.smeets@unesco.org. To Ministers responsible for relations with UNESCO

2 CL/3698 page 2 Following technical and scientific evaluation by experts from specialized NGOs, the International Jury will examine the files in accordance with the procedure established for that purpose and recommend to me a list of candidatures, upon which I shall for the third time proclaim Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Please accept, Sir/Madam, the assurances of my highest consideration. Enclosure: 1 Koïchiro Matsuura Director-General cc: National Commissions for UNESCO Permanent Delegations to UNESCO

3 THIRD PROCLAMATION OF MASTERPIECES OF THE ORAL AND INTANGIBLE HERITAGE OF HUMANITY (July 2005) Addendum to the Guide for the presentation of candidature files ADDENDUM Experience gained from the Second Proclamation has led to a revision of some of the formal aspects of the presentation of candidature files. We should be grateful if you would take these modifications into account when elaborating a candidature file for the Third Proclamation. Content of the candidature file (p. 9): Paragraph 14: Each candidature file, and all the documentation supplied in annex, should be submitted in English or in French in three copies, and should comprise the following five elements: (a) (b) (c) idem; documentation required to evaluate the entry, namely maps, photographs with the corresponding negatives or slides, sound or audiovisual recordings, a video at least two hours in length in VHS format, or any other useful material to illustrate the candidature, together with a letter authorizing the dissemination of all these documents for promotional purposes, indicating the copyright ownership for each document, and an analysis of reference works on the subject and a comprehensive bibliography set out according to common practice in the scientific and academic world; a professional-quality video (digital Betacam, Betacam SP or DV and DVcam), of no more than 10 minutes duration, reflecting the most significant aspects of the candidature file. This will be screened to the members of the jury during their deliberations. This video document should be prepared in strict conformity with the technical card for the preparation of the video shown in Annex IV (see also paragraph 19). Calendar for the Third Proclamation (Annex V) NB: The above points also apply to the Standard Model for Candidature Entry Forms (pages of the Guide); a revised version of the form incorporating these modifications is attached herewith (Annex VI).

4 Guide for the presentation of candidature files ANNEX IV THIRD PROCLAMATION OF MASTERPIECES OF THE ORAL AND INTANGIBLE HERITAGE OF HUMANITY Video document of 10 minutes duration to be included in the Proclamation Candidature File and screened to the Proclamation Jury Technical Guidelines Paragraph 14(c) of the Guide for the Presentation of Candidature Files TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS Standard: Length: Type of document: Voiceover: Video-making: The video document must be produced exclusively as digital Betacam (Pal), Betacam SP (Pal and NTSC), DV (Pal), or DVcam (Pal) professional or semi-professional standards. 10 minutes maximum. The video document submitted for evaluation to the Jury should be an original document produced purposely for the candidature file. We recommended against presenting an already existing document (e.g. videos for tourism promotion). A voiceover in English or French may be added to the direct sound recording, but it should never be mixed with the direct sound except in the case of a musical manifestation. The aim of the voiceover is to describe the presented cultural expressions and to justify the candidature file according to the selection criteria established in the Guide for the Presentation of Candidature Files (paragraphs 21 and 22). The shooting, editing and post-production of the video should be done by video and film professionals so as to avoid presenting a document of doubtful quality that could compromise the candidature file (e.g. excessive use of zoom, misuse of long/short shots, bad shooting or editing, audio saturation, etc.). CONTENTS OF THE VIDEO The content of the video document should respect the following structure: First part (around five minutes): describe the subject of the candidature file in its salient aspects and show the forms of cultural expression in their social or natural context. If a technical competence needs explaining, the video must show by images the different operating chains which lead to its final production; if an oral competence needs exemplifying, the audiovisual document must show the performances of the social actors and ensure subtitles in French or in English; if a cultural space needs illustrating, explain why and how this temporary or physical space, where popular and traditional cultural

5 Annex IV page 2 activities are concentrated, it has an exceptional value and it is important in the social context concerned. Second part (around two minutes): explain how the cultural expression of the candidature file is of exceptional value to the concerned community and how they constitute a masterpiece of the creative human genius. This explanation should justify and motivate the Member State s choice of cultural expression proposed in the candidature file. Third part (around one minute): explain why and to what extent the particular cultural expression is in danger of extinction. Indicate, for example, the degree of deterioration, or why there is a loss of interest on the part of the younger generation. Fourth part (around two minutes): expose briefly, but as precisely as possible, the main procedures considered in the plan of action for the safeguarding and the revitalization of the forms of cultural expression, or of the cultural site mentioned in the candidature file.

(b) Its roots in the cultural tradition or cultural history of the community concerned. (c) Its role as a means of affirming the cultural identity of the peoples and cultural communities concerned, its importance as a source of inspiration and intercultural exchanges and as a means of bringing peoples and communities closer together, and its contemporary cultural and social role in the community concerned, taking into account the fact that cultures are generally in a state of constant transformation and that the cultural manifestation should necessarily play a role in the contemporary life of the community. (d) Excellence in the application of the skill and technical qualities displayed. (e) Its value as a unique testimony of a living cultural tradition. (f) The risk of its disappearing, due either to the lack of means for safeguarding and protecting it or to processes of rapid change, or to urbanization, or to acculturation.
