Greetings, from the BC Museums Association!

The BCMA's Awards Committee wishes to invite Nominations for this year's 
provincial /"Museums in Motion Awards" /and applications for The 
Hardcastle Bursary and The Joe Nagel Technology Bursary for 2008.

Deadline for Nominations & Applications is:  _5:00pm, Monday, June 30,

Guidelines and forms will also accompany the Spring issue (#240) of 
/Museums Roundup/ now en route.

BCMA's exclusive and prestigious /Museums in Motion Awards/ recognize 
three categories of service:
- Distinguished Service Award
- Corporate Service Award
- Awards of Merit (up to 3 presented per year)

"Please take this important opportunity to consider and nominate 
colleagues, organizations, volunteers, or sponsors deserving recognition 
for their efforts, contributions, or dedication to your institution and 
the province's museums, art galleries and heritage community," - Kris 
Andersen, Director, BCMA Council's Awards Portfolio.

"This year, in view of our increasing awareness of the 'greening' of our 
communities, nominations of projects or initiatives that incorporate 
green concepts, of help to promote green standards and practices in the 
culture and heritage field, are encouraged."

Successful nominees will be announced at the BCMA's provincial Awards 
Banquet at Conference 2008, on Friday, November 21, 2008 in Victoria, BC.

Recipients will be presented with the prestigious /Museums in Motion/ 
bronze sculpture, created exclusively for the BCMA by world-renowned 
sculptor, Geert Maas, of Kelowna, BC.

"The Awards Committee understands the pressures of our profession. Time 
to prepare a nomination may be hard to find--but we must make every 
effort to recognize and to thank our contributors and supporters. The 
benefits our institutions and communities reap from the support of 
others far surpass the challenges of making the time to nominate and 
show our appreciation."

Thank you,
Jim
