Library Board of Western Australia Award for Excellence
The Library Board of Western Australia Award for Excellence recognises excellence and innovation in the library sector by any person, library or organisation in Western Australia. This annual award reflects the Library Board's leadership role in guiding and encouraging the provision of all library services throughout the State.
It is awarded for a particular service, event, program, piece of research or partnership. The judging panel considers the extent of the project, the audience it reaches, innovation, evaluation, collaboration with different groups, education or training aspects, and contribution to professional organisations. (A nomination does not have to meet all of these criteria).
The Award is for recent activity, rather than long and meritorious service, and for 2012 the achievement is to be completed in the previous year 2011.
The Award recognises a broad spectrum of library related work, and is not restricted to libraries and librarians. The Library Board encourages nominations from all related sectors.
Prize money of $5,000 will be awarded with the winner announced in Library and Information Week 2012 (21 - 25 May).How to Enter
