Projects & Events

The Trust is continually involved in a number of projects. As well as the publication of the annual calendar and Heritage Journal, the Trust holds a number of annual events such as a painting competition and annual awards ceremony.

The Trafalgar Cemetery:
The Gibraltar Heritage Trust is responsible for the upkeep of the Trafalgar Cemetery and is very grateful to Greenarc who do sterling work at the cemetery throughout the year keeping the gardens in such good order.
The Trust, through Trustee Gil Podesta, has recently completed some essential repair works at the cemetery on the main gates and preventative repairs to some of the walls in the cemetery.
   
Annual Painting Competition  
Just having completed its 20th year, the Trust's annual painting competition is a popular event in the calendar. The aim of the competition is to raise awareness about our heritage by encouraging participants to take a long and detailed look at a building/ site through the process of its reproduction through artistic media. Past themes, all historic buildings, monuments and sites that have featured in Gibraltar’s history, include Parson’s Lodge, the Moorish Castle, Trafalgar Cemetery and the Mount.
   
Annual Heritage Awards  
Every February the Trust invites nominations from the general public for individuals, groups or buildings which should be considered for a Heritage Award. The awards are made to persons, groups, clubs or companies that have made outstanding contributions to Gibraltar’s heritage (such as by a piece of research, publication of a book, a work of art, or the design, construction or restoration of a building), or by having shown exceptional sensitivity to Gibraltar’s heritage in being instrumental in preserving an important part of it.   Persons under the age of 16 are also eligible to be nominated for the Junior Award, either as individuals, groups or as contributors to school projects.
