2023 ISHY Award Winners Announced

The International Sports Heritage Association has over 130 institutions located in North America, South America, Europe, and Asia that can call themselves members. In addition, various corporations and individuals participate in and contribute to the growth of the International Sports Heritage Association (or ISHA for shorthand) as Associate Members. These dedicated individuals and member institutions make up the backbone of a strong organization with a spirited competition that naturally occurs in and around athletics.

The ISHY Awards program was established to provide recognition for excellence in publications and exhibitions by all member sports museums, halls of fame, or sports heritage organizations, based upon a competition evaluated by a panel of ISHA Officers and organizational members. We split each category into three depending on their organizational budget for Small Organizations, Mid-Size Organizations, and Large Organizations.  Here is a look at this year’s winners:
