The second British Museum / Marsh Trust Volunteers for Museum Learning Award is now open for applications. The award is open to all volunteers or groups of volunteers working directly with the public in museums and galleries. The award is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the work and achievements of volunteers - and the prizes are pretty good too!

There will be winners from each region in the UK, who will each receive a £500 prize. From the regional winners, an overall winner will be chosen, who will receive an additional £2,000. Prizes will be awarded at a ceremony at the British Museum in June.

The application form and more information about the award is on the British Museum website at http://www.britishmuseum.org/marshaward

The closing date for applications is 23rd April.
