Best of the Web Competition: Nominations Open

Nominations are now being accepted for the Museums and the Web 2008: Best of the Web competition.

Museum Web sites from around the world may be nominated, provided they have been launched or significantly updated in 2007. Sites will be reviewed by an independent panel of judges, and awards made at the twelfth annual Museums and the Web Conference, in Montréal, Canada, April 9-12, 2008.

Categories are:

• On-line Exhibition
• Educational Site
• Museum Professional's Site
• Research Site
• Online Community or Service
• Podcast (Audio / Video)
• Innovative or Experimental Site
• Small*
• Best Overall Museum Site, selected by the judges from all of the sites nominated.

Be sure to review the category definitions carefully before suggesting a site. Sites do much better when they are considered in the right context.

Nomination

Sites are put forward for the Best of the Web in an open (free of charge) nomination process. Anyone can nominate a site, and nominations of sites other than your own are encouraged. Sites from anywhere in the world are eligible, provided they have been launched or significantly updated in 2007. The process has been reviewed in an on-line discussion. Thanks to everyone who participated!

Nominations are open, on-line, until February 1, 2008.

We're looking forward, once again, to uncovering great work in museums large and small, and highlighting it for the community.
