This groundbreaking initiative seeks to spotlight and celebrate innovative initiatives and exemplary practices that contribute significantly to sustainable development within the museum sector. 

ABOUT THE ICOM AWARD 

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. 

WHO CAN APPLY? 

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.

WHY APPLY?

  • Global Recognition: Showcase your institution or initiative on the world stage as a leader in sustainable development, particularly during the award ceremony at the 2025 General Conference. 
  • Network Building: Connect with like-minded professionals, institutions, and experts from around the globe, fostering collaboration and shared learning.
