The winners will be announced at the Society’s Annual Meeting in Atlanta, Georgia,USA, October 16-19, 2003. The Award consists of a plaque and up to $1000.00 to cover expenses for a member of the design team to accept the award at the SHOT awards banquet. The Society especially encourages nominations from local and regional historical societies. "Virtual" exhibits are not eligible for the award.
Anyone, including the institution or individual responsible for its creation, may nominate an exhibit for the Dibner Award. Exhibits should be currently on view and have opened within the past two years. Nominations should include a nomination form with names of possible reviewers (not affiliated with the development of the exhibit) and materials that will assist the committee in evaluating the exhibition (exhibit script, related publications, videotape, photographs, educational materials and website address). All materials sent will be kept by SHOT for archival purposes.
The deadline for nominations for the 2003 award is 1 February 2003.
Nominations forms can be obtained from the SHOT website and should be sent to
