COM COMMS Awards seeks to promote best practices in museum communications, marketing, media relations and audience engagement globally. Also, to recognize innovation, creativity, and strategic excellence across diverse cultural contexts.

The awards are open to museum professionals or teams worldwide, affiliated with ICOM or not. You may submit one or more projects in different categories. We accept projects created in progress since 2024 until June 2026. A jury selected by ICOM COMMS will produce a shortlist for every category and open it to public vote.
