Competition Co-Coordinator and Director of the Museum of Anthropology at Wake Forest University, Stephen Whittington explained that a panel of three judges selected competition winners. Entries were judged based on content, design and usability.
This is the second award the Museum has received for its Gallery Guide. Judges from the American Association of Museums Publications Design Competition awarded the Museum Honorable Mention in a competition, which took place in 2006.
