ICOM (global) Award
ICOM Award: Candidates Call for Applications
The ICOM Award is the first global award organised by ICOM that specifically acknowledges and honors sustainable development practices within the museum community. We believe in the power of museums to drive positive change and contribute meaningfully to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The award aims to encourage the participation of Museums in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and shed light on the concrete actions undertaken in that direction. The award process aims to be a platform to communicate the diverse ways that museums are working towards sustainable development and the SDGs.
The upcoming award ceremony will take place at the 2025 ICOM General Conference.
If your museum has successfully implemented sustainable development actions and completed the project, ICOM wants to hear from you!
- Submissions will be judged based on the impact created by the project. Initiatives should demonstrate clear results, outcomes,or impact.
- ICOM is looking for a diverse range of submissions, from different museum types, addressing different sustainable development challenges.
- Submissions are especially encouraged from small museums, small projects, and those that have pushed the boundaries of ‘standard’ museum practice.
