AAM MUSE Awards: Feb 16th Deadline for submissions



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.
