Multimedia and Publication Design Awards 2009

Judging Finalised and Winners Announced

The Museums Australia Multimedia and Publication Design Awards showcases the breadth of design talent across Australia and beyond. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about and contribute to the diversity and vibrancy of the cultural sector and to view what is happening in our major and regional cultural institutions.

Entries in the 2009 awards spanned a 2 year period from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2008. 406 entries were received from 103 national and international organisations. Of these 129 entries were shortlisted and a total of 75 awards were presented across 12 categories.

Entries were judged on their relevance of purpose, communication clarity and degree of usability. Category winners that illustrate design skill, layout structure, quality photography, illustration and typography can be viewed here.
