MGHG Blog Post Prize

Do you have a story, an idea or some research to share about museum and gallery histories? If so, we want to hear it!

The Museums and Galleries History Group are offering prizes for the best blog posts written by MGHG members for the MGHG blog. Posts should be original work which addresses museums or galleries from a historical and/or theoretical perspective, and will be assessed by a panel of MGHG Board members. There are three prizes on offer: £50 for the best post, and £25 for two runners-up. The deadline is 1 October 2022, and winning posts will be featured here on the MGHG blog. We look forward to hearing from you!

The rules:

  • Entries must be received by 1 October 2022.

  • Posts should be original work of between 500 – 1000 words, accompanied by up to 5 images

  • Posts should be in .pdf or Word format, with images as high resolution .jpegs or .tiffs (300dpi or above). It is the author’s responsibility to ensure that all appropriate permissions for image reproduction are secured.

  • Please send entries to contact@mghg.info accompanied by a separate document giving your name, contact email address, and organisational affiliation if appropriate.

  • Posts will be judged anonymously, on the criteria of their potential interest to MGHG members and their fit with the themes of the blog.

  • Winners will be notified in due course and their post will appear on the MGHG blog.
