Thank you so much to everyone who has entered. We’re over the moon to see so many entries from such a diverse range of organisations.
And so now the wait begins. Who will make the shortlist and, ultimately, who will go on to win?
Be the first to hear by joining us at the Awards Ceremony, the sector’s most glamorous event, on Thursday 15 May in Central London.
In the meantime, keep an eye out for our shortlist announcement in March.
We believe that excellence knows no boundaries, and talent is limitless, regardless of where it comes from. We’re on a mission to celebrate the rich tapestry of experiences and the multitude of voices that make up our sector.
The Awards are open to all museums, galleries, archives, and cultural and heritage organisations, both digital and in-person. We welcome and encourage entries from everyone; from individuals and organisations that connect objects, stories and spaces with audiences and people, as well as the individuals, companies and organisations which support their work.
Each entry is judged on its own merit and the shortlist frequently features brilliant examples of low-cost, creative projects. There’s a chance for everyone but, as the saying goes, you have to be in it to win it!
Best of luck to everyone who has entered!
