Jim Blackaby Ingenuity Award

The Jim Blackaby Ingenuity Award will be introduced in New Orleans at the 2004 MUSE awards ceremony. Jim Blackaby, a board member of the media and technology committee, passed away last summer. Jim influenced many in the museum world with his innovative work in information services and Internet strategies. Conceived in his memory, this award recognizes a project that exemplifies the power of creative imagination in the use of media and technology — a project that has a powerful effect on its audience, and one that stands above the others in inventiveness and quality.
