People are the beating heart of The Museums + Heritage Awards

The 2023 Museums + Heritage Awards are open for entries and offer more ways than ever to recognise the hard work and extraordinary achievements of individuals, teams and organisations across the sector.

There are 17 categories to choose from and with two new additions, this year’s ceremony will reward even more talent.

The first of these two new awards will recognise a team that, for the past year, has quietly helped operations to continue running smoothly. The objective of Team of the Year is to reward the parts of your organisation that don’t often get public recognition.

From HR, grounds maintenance, and collections care staff; teams in all departments will be considered by the judges. They will be looking for a collective positive impact which made a difference in the day-to-day running of your organisation. What better way to show your appreciation than nominating your team?

The second new award will recognise the support given to the sector by freelancers, consultants, associations, partners and suppliers.

This new Sector Support Award will recognise the creativity and solution-driven focus which is crucial to the success of museums, galleries and heritage and cultural visitor attractions. The judges will reward a person, business or association whose work has supported and enhanced the sector as a whole, or which can demonstrate the tangible difference made to its clients.

As well as these two new categories, the awards continue to provide opportunities to all areas of the sector including the invaluable contribution made by volunteers.

AIM is pleased to again partner on the Volunteer(s) of the Year award category. This category is free to enter or to make a nomination to celebrate the hard work and the contribution volunteers have made during the challenges of 2022.
