Why should your organisation take part?

This is a great opportunity for you to shout about your achievements, large or small, and share something you are proud of with the world. Museums and heritage organisations in Cornwall are doing great things, and this is the perfect occasion to celebrate those achievements as a community. 

The Cornwall Heritage Awards is designed to recognise and reward achievement, inspire pride, raise the profile of your organisation and of all museums and heritage organisations in Cornwall. Every organisation will have the potential to benefit from the publicity created in print, online and on BBC Radio Cornwall.  

Shortlisted applications may be invited to present their project at the Heritage Awards Symposium and best practice case studies will be produced for the CMP website. The event allows a great opportunity to network with other heritage organisations, potential partners and funders, and reconnect with our museum community in person. 

Awards and achievements help to inspire a sense of trustworthiness, pride and credibility. Entering the awards is a great way of offering recognition to your team. Winners of each category will receive a trophy and shortlisted organisations will receive a certificate of commendation.
