Grammar in titles or thems

"It was created under this year's theme of "World Heritage Shining in the city."

When we see English sentences for titles or themes like above, I was wondering if they are grammatically correct or not and I think that in the sentence "is" omitted or "that is" is omitted. Which one do you think is omitted or the sentence is correct?

What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance.

The way it is capitalised makes it seem as if "World Heritage Shining" is the name of the event or theme (if it was full title case then "City" would be capitalised too). I'm not sure if this is really intended, or if the capitalisation is wrong. The interpretation undisturbed by capitalisation quibbles is that "shining in the city" modifies "world heritage".
