Award the best museum projects
The museum workers of our region organise numerous open events, conferences and educational workshops to promote the heritage of Kujawsko-Pomorskie. Appreciating their daily work and commitment, we will traditionally honour the best museum undertakings of the past year. We are waiting for submissions for the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Museum Event of the Year competition until 30 April.
– With these awards, we would like to thank the employees of museum institutions for carrying out such projects, which show important fragments of our history in a unique and attractive way,’ says Marshal Piotr Całbecki.
Projects realised in 2024 can be submitted to the competition in three categories:
- exhibition (temporary and permanent exhibitions, presented both in museum facilities and in public space);
- scientific and publishing activities (publications, including e-books and audiobooks, as well as conferences and completed research projects);
- education and regionalism (activities of an educational nature and activities promoting and popularising the heritage of the region).
Projects may be submitted by museums or other entities carrying out museum-related activities located in the Kujawsko-Pomorskie voivodship.
One award and two distinctions will be granted in each category. The winners will receive Musejon statuettes, designed and made by Sebastian Mikołajczak – an artist from Toruń, a scholarship holder of the Marshal of the voivodeship.
Applications should be delivered to the following address:
