Jointly organized by the INAC and UNESCO Bangkok and Jakarta Offices, this year's
programme was supported by the Indonesian Ministry of Trade, the Ministry of Industry,
the Ministry of Cooperatives, Small and Medium Enterprises, the SMESCO-UKM Gallery,
the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the Ministry of National Education, and the
Indonesian National Commission for UNESCO.
The programme aims to encourage craft-workers to use traditional skills and materials to
ensure the perpetuation of traditional knowledge and preserve cultural diversity, while
promoting innovations to keep the products relevant and competitive. Since its launch in

2001 in Thailand, the 2010 programme of the Southeast Asia region was
implemented for the first time in Indonesia.
This year, the programme received 112 high quality products of seven categories
(Textile, Natural Fibers, Ceramics, Wood, Stone, Metals, Others) from Southeast Asian
countries including Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Viet Nam,
Timor-Leste, Thailand as well as Bangladesh.
All applications were assessed by five international panel experts at the SMESCO-UKM
Building in Jakarta on 22-23 September 2010 to meet with the set four key criteria and
two pre-conditions. They judged the submitted products in the category of excellence,
authenticity, innovation and marketability. The respect for environment in materials and
production techniques as well as the social responsibility were taken into account to the
benchmark of the award.

Of the submitted products, 19 have been granted the Award of Excellence in 2010: 13
products were awarded from Indonesia and 6 from Thailand. Products that were
granted with the Award of Excellence are currently exhibited at the Trade Expo Indonesia
2010 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Furthermore, these products will be presented at the BIG Fair
Exhibition in Bangkok, Thailand in April 2011.
The successful 19 Southeast Asia awardees are listed below.
