AMaGA Victoria and PGAV are committed to celebrating excellence across Victoria’s museum and gallery sector. In response to AMaGA National changing the timing of its National Conference and Awards last year, we have decided to adjust the timing of the Victorian Museums and Galleries Awards to better distinguish the two awards.
We will call for nominations in November 2025, with the Awards Ceremony being held in April 2026, continuing annually from then on. This change allows for greater clarity between the two award programs and ensures Victoria's museum and gallery sector has a unique platform to recognise its outstanding achievements.
We encourage Victoria's museums and galleries to start considering projects for nomination - eligible projects will be those undertaken between July 2024 and December 2025. Applications will close in February 2026.
Stay tuned for further details as we look forward to celebrating the innovation, creativity and impact of Victoria’s cultural institutions in 2026!
