Nominees 2018
This year we have received a record 96 IMAGinE award nominations, the most nominations in the history of the awards. We welcome the many new museums and galleries who have nominated for the first time as well as great new projects from past nominees and winners. 2018 also sees the inaugural ACHAA Award for Excellence by an Aboriginal Curator, with a strong field of nominees. We look forward to sharing the winners and celebrating the successes of the year with you at the 2018 IMAGinE Awards night to be held at the National Art School on Friday 23 November.
