The International Council of Museums (ICOM) is accepting submissions until 30 September for the first edition of the Sustainable Development Practice in Museums award.

The new award is the first global award organised by ICOM to acknowledge practices that contribute significantly to sustainable development within the museum sector. It aims to encourage museums to participate in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Submissions are especially encouraged from small museums, small projects, and those that have pushed the boundaries of ‘standard’ museum practice.

  • Deadline for applications: 30 September
