Mitchell A. Wilder Publication Awards
All museums project a graphic identity. Large and small, all museums
produce communications pieces for their publics. Ranging from informal
monthly e-newsletters to scholarly exhibit catalogs, from printed posters
to digital invitations, these communications vehicles reflect the museum's
image. TAM promotes the highest standards of graphic design and media
production through the annual Wilder Awards.The awards are named in honor
of one of the early advocates of excellence in museum publications, Mitchell
A. Wilder (1913-1979), founding director of the Amon Carter Museum in
Fort Worth. Beginning with primarily late nineteenth-century Western art,
he helped build the collection of paintings and sculpture to include a
wide cross-section of American masterpieces. Wilder was largely responsible
for establishing the Museum's active publications program, active exhibition
calendar, and instituting the photography collection--one of the country's
largest. Throughout his career Wilder strove for excellence and quality--especially
in museum publications.
How to Enter
Each piece must be accompanied by a completed entry form. Any entry
submitted without this form will not be accepted.
A copy of the entry form must be enclosed
