The prize is open to all UK galleries and is intended to recognise and reward “the most innovative and inspiring idea – an exhibition, new gallery, public programme or important new initiative – developed during 2002”.
Entries will need to “have a genuine and demonstrable effect on public perceptions of museums and galleries, and enhance appreciation of their role”.
