Nominations close in two weeks for the 2008 Jodi Awards. Don't miss your chance to enter - deadline is close of the day on October 3.

If your museum, gallery, library or archive has premiered a new website, in-gallery interactive or digital project in the last year, you could be eligible for a national award.

It's a great chance to get UK-wide publicity for your project: the Jodi Awards are being presented on the evening of December 5, 2008, at the British Museum. Earlier on the same day at the BM there'll be a seminar - jointly organised by the Jodi Awards Trust with the Museums Association - exploring issues around accessibility and the cultural web sector.

More details about the MA/Jodi Awards seminars will follow in due course.

In association with the Rix Centre, the 2008 Awards will include a new award for the best use of technology making collections and learning opportunities accessible to people with a learning disability.

More information about all these innovations and dates can be found on the Jodi Awards web pages - www.jodiawards.org.uk.
