• Most Innovative Venue recognizes the museums and attractions that are pushing the industry forward through creative marketing strategies, new technology, sustainability initiatives, or other means. 

• Best Hidden Gem recognizes the unique or niche attractions that may be off the beaten path but always stun their visitors. Any venue that provides an exceptional, one-of-a-kind experience to its audience is encouraged to apply. 

The winners of these application-based awards will be chosen by a panel of expert judges in each participating region, including representatives for organisations such as National Geographic, Condé Nast, MuseumNext, and our global judge Douglas Quinby from Arival. There will be a winner for each award in each of the six markets (France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the UK, and the US) being recognized.
