2023 New England Museum Association Publication Award

The New England Museum Association Publication Awards celebrate the often unacknowledged outreach and communication work that museums do regularly through print and digital media. Good design easily and quickly connects museums with their communities in an aesthetically pleasing way. The winning institutions and the designers who worked with them should be commended for setting the bar so high. 

The competition recognizes excellence in design, production, programming, and effective communication in both print and digital publishing. All current NEMA institutional members are eligible to enter. This year the competition included 203 submissions from 60 museums that were judged in 11 categories. Submissions spanned the years 2019-2022, since the awards program was paused during the Covid-19 pandemic. Competition winners will be recognized and exhibited at the Annual NEMA conference in Portland, ME, November 8 - 10, 2023.
