How To Enter
THE 2010 AWARDS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR ENTRIES. THE SHORT-LIST WILL BE ANNOUNCED AFTER EASTER.
Don't miss out on your opportunity to enter these prestigious awards and have your hard work rewarded.
With eleven categories to choose from the Museums & Heritage Awards for Excellence offer everyone the oppotunity to enter - no matter what your budgets are, how many visitors you attract or high profile the project. The deadline for entries is Friday 19 February 2010 and full information on how to enter can be downloaded here.
The Awards are open to museums, galleries and heritage visitor attractions. Entries from outside contractors and suppliers are also welcomed but where the entry relates to a specific attraction it must only be submitted with the prior consent of the client concerned. All work entered into the categories must be carried out in the UK, except where the category indicates overseas applications. Where both a museum, gallery or heritage attraction and their supplier or contractor enter the same project into a category, the two entries will be treated as a joint entry for the purposes of judging. Companies, organisations or individuals may submit entries on behalf of themselves or others and may enter any number of categories, but no single project may be entered into more than three categories.
The rules say that the judges will look for evidence of ‘outcome, creativity, relation to objective and cost effectiveness’. Winning entries will show all of this but they will also have to demonstrate something extra - true excellence! Industry professionals will judge the final category, as readers of Museums & Heritage Magazine seeks to find the UK’s most popular museum, gallery or heritage attraction.
