As an ICOM affiliated organisation, we want to let our members know that the call for applications is now open for 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 deadline for applications is September 30th. The upcoming award ceremony will take place at the 2025 ICOM General Conference. You can find all the necessary information through the link below:
