    <pre> MUSE AWARDS APPLICATION DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 16, 2001

    Attention all museum media producers:

      The February 16 deadline for the 2001 MUSE award competition of the
      American Association of Museums (AAM) is fast approaching.

      The MUSE Awards recognize excellence in web sites, CD-ROMs and interactive
      media gallery presentations, films, and videos produced by or for
      museums. Winners receive their awards in a special MUSE Award Reception
      and showcase at the American Association of Museum's annual meeting in
      St. Louis, Missouri.

      If you have created a great film, video or digital program for a museum,
      go to the MUSE award web page:

        http://www.mediaandtechnology.org/muse/index.html

      to read all about the competition and get your application in. There are new
      categories this year which focus on the goal of the museum program, rather
      than its delivery medium.

       The new categories for the 2001 MUSE award are:

       Educational/Interpretive:
       Programs whose primary purpose is to create a context for a theme,
       exhibition subject, collection object or area. This can be a
       self-contained program or an
       exhibition element.

       Programs Emphasizing Two-way Communication:
       Programs focusing on information exchanges among museum audiences, staff
       and content experts. These programs should be Museum-driven and utilize
       interactive technologies.

       Collections Database/Reference Resource:
       Programs whose primary purpose is to collect and make large amounts of
       data easily accessible. These programs can support a wide range of
       potentially unrelated subjects. Examples: a collection area of a museum
       web site, a timeline of science history.

       Institutional/Promotional:
       Programs designed to introduce or orient a viewer to a museum or
       exhibition program in 10 minutes or less. Examples: an orientation video
       for high school students on visiting a historic house; the main home page
       of a museum's web site.

      If you have questions about the 2001 Muse Awards Competition, please email
