IMAGinE awards

IMAGinE awards 2017

The IMAGinE awards recognise the people who work in museums and galleries across NSW and the contributions they make. IMAGinE celebrates all institutions–the big to the small–and pays homage to those organisations run by volunteers, with limited budgets and minimal resources. These awards offer a unique opportunity for museums and galleries in NSW to advocate, promote their achievements and raise their profile within the sector and the broader community.

The 2017 award categories are:

• Exhibition Projects
• Engagement Programs
• Capacity Building, Capital & Sustainability Programs (previously titled Sustainability Programs)
• Individual Achievement

The 2017 IMAGinE award winners and highly commended were announced on Friday 10 November at a ceremony at the Australian Museum. The full list of winners and highly commended projects and programs can be found here.

For more information about the IMAGinE awards please contact 02 9252 8300 or imagine@mgnsw.org.au

The IMAGinE awards are an initiative of Museums & Galleries of NSW, developed with support from Museums Australia NSW and Regional and Public Galleries of NSW.
