MUSE awards recognize outstanding achievement in Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) media.

The MUSE awards celebrate scholarship, community, innovation, creativity, education, accessibility, and inclusiveness.

Winning projects for each category are chosen by an international group of GLAM technology professionals. The awards presented at the Annual Meeting & MuseumExpo. Projects must be produced by or for a GLAM, and may include but are not limited to websites, podcasts, social media campaigns, multimedia installations, games, interactive kiosks, audio tours, and mobile apps. All Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners receive a beautiful award plaque. Honorable Mention winners receive a certificate. All winners are listed in perpetuity on the Awards list of past winners.
