American Alliance of Museums | AAM Awards | The American Alliance of Museums takes pride in recognizing outstanding individuals, programs, and organizations dedicated to excellence within, and support of, museums. Recognition of multiple honorees in certain categories highlights the scope of exemplary work across all types of museums and roles in the museum field. To better highlight and celebrate the breadth of the museum professional community, in 2023 we redesigned the awards program to better align with AAM’s strategic framework and make the AAM awards and recognition program more accessible and relevant to the breadth of the museum field. These changes were intended to create even more opportunities to celebrate the vital role that every museum professional plays in building thriving museums, strong communities, and a better world. In addition, in 2025 we approved an additional award: the AAM Mid-Career Professional Award. To see all available award categories, visit the AAM website. | Deadline: December 5, 2025 | More information and applications.
