Graphic Design Contest
MADISON, WI, May 2006
The Chazen Museum of Art has won first prize for excellence in graphic design of its newsletter, Artscene, by the American Association of Museums (AAM). The newsletter was redesigned by BCN Communications of Chicago when the Chazen changed its name from Elvehjem Museum of Art in May 2005. One hundred and twenty books, catalogues, posters, invitations, press kits, and other materials have been selected as winners of the 26th annual AAM Museum Publications Design Competition.
The competition, which acknowledges excellence in the graphic design of museum publications, is the only national, juried event involving publications produced by museums of all kinds and sizes. This year's contest drew more than 1,092 entries. Twenty-six received a first prize, 24 received a second prize, and 70 received an honorable mention.
