Nominations and creative entries will be accepted until 4 p.m. on Friday, January 16, 2009.

Have questions? Here are five ‘W’s and an ‘H’ to get you started.

Who can you nominate?
Professionals and Volunteers: NCMC recognizes individuals and organizations who have demonstrated excellence and leadership within an institution and within the museum profession. Take a few moments to consider your hard-working friends, colleagues, and mentors who have provided exemplary service to North Carolina’s museum community during the year or over a lifetime.

What can you submit?
