2023 ISHY Award Application Open until July 28th

The purpose of the ISHY Awards is to recognize the excellent work done by our member institutions on a variety of levels regardless of size or budget, based upon a competition evaluated by ISHA members and museum professionals. Associate and Individual members are not eligible for this competition.
There are multiple classifications of competition based on the institution’s annual operating budget and/or project budget. Simply indicate your organization’s classification on the form.

QUALIFICATIONS
Submit only one entry per category. More than one entry per category by a single institution will disqualify those entries. In other words, you cannot compete against yourself in a single category, such as by entering two books in A Books. You may enter any other remaining categories (A. through H) based on your materials.
All entries must have been produced (completed) between January 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023 to be eligible No entry can be submitted a second time due to date overlap in the annual competition.
All entries must have been created solely for the submitting institutional member.
