Nominees 2015

This year we received 74 nominations, more than in any other year since in awards began in 2008.

The aim of course, isn’t just to receive more nominations; we’re interested in quality and in spread across the categories, and in seeing a wider variety of organisations putting their hands up for an award. So it’s worth noting the increased interest in the Sustainability category and in the number of submissions from community-run museums, something that makes us deeply happy because we love to celebrate what volunteers can do!

This year lots of museums nominated in the Exhibition category, a reflection on the collaborative work that’s being done across the state NSW, and interesting ANZAC related nominations came in from everywhere!
