MUSE AWARDS APPLICATION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 16, 2001
Attention all museum media producers:
The February 16 deadline for the 2001 MUSE award competition of the
American Association of Museums (AAM) is fast approaching.
The MUSE Awards recognize excellence in web sites, CD-ROMs and interactive
media gallery presentations, films, and videos produced by or for
museums. Winners receive their awards in a special MUSE Award Reception
and showcase at the American Association of Museum's annual meeting in
St. Louis, Missouri.
If you have created a great film, video or digital program for a museum,
go to the MUSE award web page:
http://www.mediaandtechnology.org/muse/index.html
to read all about the competition and get your application in. There are new
categories this year which focus on the goal of the museum program, rather
than its delivery medium.
The new categories for the 2001 MUSE award are:
Educational/Interpretive:
Programs whose primary purpose is to create a context for a theme,
exhibition subject, collection object or area. This can be a
self-contained program or an
exhibition element.
Programs Emphasizing Two-way Communication:
Programs focusing on information exchanges among museum audiences, staff
and content experts. These programs should be Museum-driven and utilize
interactive technologies.
Collections Database/Reference Resource:
Programs whose primary purpose is to collect and make large amounts of
data easily accessible. These programs can support a wide range of
potentially unrelated subjects. Examples: a collection area of a museum
web site, a timeline of science history.
Institutional/Promotional:
Programs designed to introduce or orient a viewer to a museum or
exhibition program in 10 minutes or less. Examples: an orientation video
for high school students on visiting a historic house; the main home page
of a museum's web site.
